Mattelson Workshop

[Grace DeVito]

I recently attended a 4 day workshop by Marvin Mattelson in Greenwich, CT. It was an enjoyable and very informative experience.

Marvin really explains everything very thoroughly. He demonstrates how he works from begining to end. The class would watch his demos then go back to their own easels while Marvin gave individual attention to each of us. Break times were filled with informative lectures on everything from technique to mini art history lessons.

Marvin is a wealth of information! Personally, Marvin was able to fill in some missing gaps in my art education. He has a real understanding of painting the human form. I would recommend his classes and workshops to artist of all levels; even the seasoned professional will gain much. I look forward to doing so again myself. I've posted the study done during the workshop, approximate painting time 10 hrs.
