Woman portrait
 

Dear artists,

My name is Andrey. I'm from Moscow. I am restorer. For years of my work I've got experience and enough of knowledge of technology of old school of painting. And I can pass on my experience to you. In these portraits I've tried to use as much as possible some methods of Old Masters.

My friends-artists, with whom I studied in the art-academy, gave me advice to paint portraits. I paint portraits not so long. In these portraits, I'd like to learn your opinion on them. Please, send your responses and criticism on e-mail: [email protected].

Best regards, Andrey

Andrey:

Can you tell us more about your methods?

Rui.

Hi Andrey,

Welcome to the forum.

I am very impressed of your paintings and hope that you will participate i the critique of paintings presented here.

I know that Russian schools do teach the traditional skills of drawing and painting, but would like very much if you would tell some more about how it actually works, please.

You have presented a traditional portrait, and a very fine one, beside a more "modern" one. How do you feel it should be?

Andrey,

Very beautiful paintings. Your first painting shown is exquisite. Offering critique would be extremely difficult .

Would you tell us the size and type of support you are using -- rigid panel, linen, cotton?

Also, are we viewing the full composition, or have you cropped in some?
