Detail of work from: Feathers, Portrait of the Artist with Apple, Kathy and Zuke

In conjunction with Open Newbury Street, Copley Master Matt Miller will be leading a FREE portraiture demo in front of the gallery as he paints a live portrait from scratch. Matt will be demonstrating how to position a model with light, color, and artistic rhythms in mind. The Artist will be answering questions about what he’s doing and why while demonstrating with a limited palette, how to handle color, shadow, depth, geometry, skin tone, and more.

Matt paints in a direct style, with a simple limited palette. With sensitivity, mastery of technique, and a magician’s sleight of hand, Matt endeavors to engage  the viewer. To not only pique your interest, but to reach your heart. 

His works have been presented at the Oil Painters of America, Portrait Society of America, and National Oil and Acrylic Painter’s Society, International Guild of Realism, amongst others. Miller is also presently a teacher at the online academy Epiphany Fine Art and currently paints and teaches out of his studio in Norton, Massachusetts.

Location: 158 Newbury Street, Boston MA

Date and Time: Sunday, September 14th @ 2:00pm
