Marvin Mattelson

Marvin Mattelson is one of those artists I followed since I was in graphic design classes in college. He was an accomplished illustrator back then, and he has since left the high-stress illustration world and is now doing fine art in the form of portraiture.

Marvin is a stickler for traditional techniques. He's a modern Ingres.

On this page, he duplicates a few of the demos he's done for his workshop students. All are in oil on canvas, I believe. He has an interesting way of starting a painting.
