No mo cad

Hi everyone,

Ever since studying with Marvin I at first reluctantly threw out my cadmiums - but after nearly a year of painting without them - and using his palette exclusively - I will never add them to my flesh palette again.

I can honestly say I had a hard time at first - but now that I've stuck with it and learned to mix the right values - his palette saved my painting life! My paintings are totally different now - believeable colored skin and I can adapt the colors to virtually any skin tone. No problem. I can't believe now that I ever used cad red.

I am not saying I have mastered this palette yet - who could say they mastered it when we have Sylvia to put our work beside! My, that is a painting!


Cheers again to Marvin Mattelson,
Denise
