Biography
RiadSince my early child hood,I found pleasure in drawing and coloring.It was my favorite way to express my feeling about things. I was a sensitive person, so I used colors and brush strokes a lot. First I learned by copying the famous artist whose styles and techniques I liked a lot .I also studied books and watched videos about how to paint. I was able to observe the differences of each art work for many artist.

Also,I took life drawing and life painting courses at Cuesta College.

For the past ten years I liked to paint on location once or twice a week with two groups of plein-air artist. I was a professional cartoonist in a weekly magazine when I was in Egypt from 1960-1969. I do a lot of realistic portrait assignments..
