Moria start to finish

[Rob Sullivan]

Thanks for taking the time to put this comprehensive step-by-step together. It is a fantastic teaching tool, to be sure.

If you don't mind, I'm going to recommend this link to my students. Not only will it be invaluable for them to see your process, it may actually give me a little more credibility as their teacher, being a former student of yours (okay, I'm joking about the latter.... a little).

Wonderful job, sir.

Dear Marvin

As a student, I couldn't think of a better way to show the steps of painting a portrait especially, when we live oceans apart from each other.

Your generosity in placing these steps here and on your web page is such a great mentoring and educational benefit to students like myself, that I wished I had a printer so I could put them on the wall to study.

I truly thank you for this pleasure and education.

Thanks Rob and Ngaire.

I appreciate your positive reaction to my demo. I only wish that the color was better. These were shot in a studio that is illuminated by fluorescent bulbs and it really wreaks havoc with the white balance on my digital camera. The way the color developed was really exciting and the nuances are all but lost here. None the less I'm happy that people are responding.

One day I'd love to do a series of videos or DVD's and really to a bang up documentation. Not to mention the book and of course the theme park: Marvinland!

Rob, feel free to direct anyone you choose to my site. I'm flattered when any of my former students want to announce they studied with me.

I am just curious - what will the mascot be at Marvinland?
