Western Wind: Interview with Tod Nielson
http://western-wind.blogspot.com/2010/05/interview-with-tod-nielson.html
Buddhist Thangka Art in the West. Tuesday, May 4, 2010. Interview with Tod Nielson. Back in February while Tsherin. Was away on retreat, I started some interviews with other fellow student thangka painters. I was stuck on my current thangka painting without Tsherin's assistance, so I figured I would work on the interview project for a bit. It was initially inspired by Buddhist Geeks. Tod was one of the first students to study under Tsherin when he arrived in California. Enjoy! And I decided to commission...

Western Wind: May 2010
http://western-wind.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Buddhist Thangka Art in the West. Monday, May 31, 2010. Spent the day at Tsherin's new art studio working on wet shading the background. The technique is when you are blending a lighter shade into typically a darker one. With three brushes, you put down one color, then overlap with the second, then use a third flat brush to blend. The process has to take place VERY quickly since the gouache paint dries rapidly. Like under a minute sometimes! Friday, May 28, 2010. Cynthia also studied under Chogyam Trungpa.

Western Wind: November 2010
http://western-wind.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Buddhist Thangka Art in the West. Monday, November 1, 2010. Interview with Elaine Sweeney. Green Tara by Elaine Sweeney, Gouache, 2010. Do you remember when and where you first encountered a thangka painting? Looking back do you think it was a factory painting? Yes, it was in San Francisco in the late '70s. My then-husband found out that an old schoolmate of his was living there and we went to visit her. I don't know what the subject was or who her teacher was, but it definitely was not a factory painting.
