February 19, 2003 Mattelson Portrait Demonstration
Connecticut Society of Portrait Artists Faces of Winter Portrait Festival.
Marvin dazzled all who attended. First, the demonstration from the model was achieved with impeccable preparation, virtuosity and 22 brushes!
Then his slide tour of the portraits at the Met impressed even John Howard Sanden. Marvin avoided historical rhetoric and focused on what attendees all wanted to hear: "How did they do that?"
From both sessions we learned how values, edges, chroma, contrast, and texture can be played alone or in concert to make a portrait sing.
Humble and grateful thanks, Marvin.
Jeanine and all of us at CSOPA
