More of Leah!
You know if Marvin is in Atlanta I am surely there too! This was my fourth workshop in short of two years (I am working on going to two more this year, lucky Marvin). I met Marvin at the Portrait Society of Atlanta in February 2003 and have been a firm believer of his way of seeing things ever since (also a constant pest). There are folks that drift from artist to artist as I did and it was like grasping at straws, gain something here and there. But now there is Marvin! He capsules all the things that we learn but he cuts through all the other hazy BS that seems to get between the really important points. My palette is so simple now and easier to manipulate. Everytime I use it, it just gets better. It is always amazing how much better my paintings get as I go along! The color variations and subtleties just get better the more I practice what Marvin preaches! Anyone out there that is thinking about taking Marvin's classes in New York or one of his Wandering Workshops, please do so, it is a real eye opener.
There isn't enough that I could say about Marvin but I am grateful to have run across him for he has definitely help me in my pursuits of better portrait paintings.
I paint all the time mind you because I instruct at different venues around Atlanta plus I play in my studio a lot! Everytime I finish one of Marvin's workshops I start a portrait right away just so that I can try to remember what I learned and utilize it right away! Here is the progression!
