Dear Andrey,

Just saw this post of yours today. I have been trying to catch up lately with the posts after about 3 weeks of having no computer.

Fantastic pieces! You paint with such mastery of technique, and the realism is very credible. Congratulations from all the way over here.

Do you prepare your own canvas? The reason I ask is because the measurement you gave (120 x 85) is not a standard stretcher size (or IS it over there?), so I presumed you prepared this for the specific purpose of this portrait.

Welcome to the forum!

Carlos

Hi, Allan
I'm sorry for silence. I'll try to answer your questions. In Russia each art academy has the own technique of training. It is very difficult for me to answer in the letter how students study drawing and painting in academies. I think, that the basis of any technique is daily, thoughtful work with nature . Step by step, from simple forms to complex, etc. plus knowledge and understanding of elementary laws of a composition.
I use some palettes to hold all process under control. I have a large (basic) palette and a some additional palletes: a palette of light, of shadow, of warmth and of cold. Very conveniently in the work. You can try.
All Best.
Andrey.

Andrey,

You should be handing out advise instead of soliciting criticism.

The seated figure is stunning! I am sure that many American portrait artists who see it will be very glad you live in Russia.

I especially like your use of color. The beautiful balance of the cool pinks with a complementary olive background. Your skin tones are radiant. The overall design is elegant and the subject compelling and sensual.

I do like the seated figure the best and feel it is far more sophisticated than the standing one, which is not as subtle. The seated figure seems to be more a real person, not in the sense of academic realism, but in having a presence.

These are very beautiful paintings, Andrey, and I really hope you'll post more of your work here. I'm wondering about the first painting in particular. Did you underpaint in a single color (as in a grisaille method) or did you begin with direct color? (I'm guessing that the second painting was done in a different method?)

Most of the Russian work I've seen has been "Russian Impressionism" and this work is clearly not in that style.

Hi, Jean . I'll continue participation in a forum and I hope soon to show some more works in classical style.
Best regards

Thank for your response, Linda. I answer your question. I don't use grisaille method. I began the underpaint with direct color. And than I continued work in the mixed technique of painting: "mechanical" and "optical".

Hi, Sharon,
I thank you for your letter. If you want, we can talk more in detail about colour and about harmony of these portraits .
Best
Andrey
