Few Russel Brand sketches in dry brush

Russel just like stood out from Caravaggio paintings clear manierism in 21 century
i'd like make his oil painting in gressalle so if He or anybody want to buy i would continue with colours.

Well, he's very open person and i'd like he's saying some of my thoughts in his interviews.

Flemish grisaille

My ambition is to show you that this work isn't smthing i do for fun. it's a kind of step by step slow work not compared with Michelle Baskia masterpiece.

On the west, where criteria of art evaluation was destroyed deliberately in the purpose of selling such artists like Jackson Pollock - for the paintings i wouldn't pay a rouble ₽.

When i do copy, my step by step work needs that after imprimature next layer will be grisaille, last year i don't do it. Painting the hull corpus on underpainting and this is scheme isn't really flemish but Italian renessience  all depends on your capacity to make thin brushstrokes.

Underpainting in Italian techniques often made in charcoal with white and sanguine. I really find difficult coping such academics masters as Caravaggio or Honthorst, Rubens, Bellini, Francesco Ricci because it needs a complete 2-3 years experience in Academic anatomical sketch of human body.

Russian art Universities has high level of classical sketch courses for student. Unfortunatly i didn't manage to take it and draw anatomy by my own practices with pencil.

ok here's two images of first underpainting and grisalle, Grisalle were made in whole day 8-9hours of work.

Flemish paintings of last month, august of 2017

For last few weeks i had a little news, the summer is over and cold days doesn't make a mood to be out of home. 👣👙🎀🌂✨🐑🐇🐁🐀🎂

Where would you go, if the transpost prices are higher than anything, food, clothes? The major of moscow and his new team do anything to rise the price of bus and subway tickets Good enough, every stateman has it's own car and has no problem with fuel they payed hugh incomes from people like you&me.

Where you can go in Moscow ~ artweekend only if you can pay yoself a museum tickets it's 10 euro for entrance.

New train system in Moscow

State policy is to spend budget incomes only on developing military equipment and infrastructure, who would like to stay in Russia? aware of social inconvenience and unfair attitude to citizens without any guaranties of  pensions and etc. Plus, the numerous attempts of shutting down any state critics, really gets people sick of injustice of the current presidency.

Some people still has a beliefs of Stalin social policy that the state would lower prices on food, housing payments. Maybe for me who stay here only by family matters it's not a general topic but i'm really feel sick and tide from government who teach me what to do, how i should think, and there's my place in their political systems.

Probably we need more drinkers places and cheap pubs for people with low income today, people get angry of zombie TV box programs payed media and fake news.

Ok. I spent a few weeks on this flemish copy and it's very charming scences that i like some people still do.

Well, it's not the second layer as you can guess, third or fourth and it's kind of greysalle, "dead layer".

Waited few days before each layer will dry. and i know it's not finish that it needs a bit few correction of details.

Last year i'm also tried to do this copy, and today you can see the difference between original

~ This is what it looks last and painted in 2016 with 2 or 3 layers (not really detailed one, isn't it?)

this painting of this year of 2017 and been painted 6-7 layers

this is the original one.

 From what i see the glazing of flemish work give them so thin surface with a glass layer... but how to do this effect i've not  really know because i doesn't have this FLEMISH GLAZING MEDIUM if you know smth where the reciept or who produced it, give me a link. It could be old holland that produced it.
