New York Portrait Artist Workshop Demonstration – Day Three

In progress demo of Megan by Marvin Mattelson - Refinement Layer

Today, was the beginning of the end, or the phase I refer to as the initial finish later (AKA refinement layer). As always, my priorities were: first drawing, then values and lastly color. I'm encouraged with how the likeness is coming together and especially the way that Megan's spirit has begun to emerge. Since the base colors were established in the previous demo, I was able to introduce translucency and color-nuance and start the process of really bringing the portrait to life.

My last demo day for this workshop will be Thursday.

Marvin Mattelson is now conducting his classes and workshops online in Full HD 1080p through his Fine Art Portrait Academy. For further information, or to register for an upcoming offering, please follow this link to his teaching page.
