Anja Rubik portrait in flemish technique.

 This is not really a unique thing to paint from photos, but i've no chance to paint Anja on a 
real studio meeting. Some of person emotion and the charcter artists could only see by an eye on  real communcation. Perhaps you could focused to many of the aspect of the person you paint.... but something left even from her on this portrait.

It was Already three times i spent for this 35x40 picture.. some work with hairs needs to be finished
but what a really a question for me schould i finaly add a colours or stay it in grisalle.?

Anja Rubik sketches

Underpainting musician copy

Few weeks how i start with this one, what it would be looks like because i've not choose what the backfront colour it would suits more.. and i wouldn't make a grisalle here. 

Perhapse i like to show the brushstrokes and playing with a various types of colours of clothes and etc. what kind light it could be seen.. practice 

Three together

Finally i've been take a picture of them

Peasants at the Tavern part3

Flemish copies are one of my favourite routine kind work at the moment, it's obviously a month or so i do every painting of the certain artist. So the next part of the grisalle was a few varnish it with colours, i do not seen a big difference between the type of finish result. 
Was it better or worse you can decide on your own. In previous copies i used to paint light with titanium whyte and here is mostly the room area painted with yellow light, and it finally came a bit greenish.. 
So i'm trying a various type of atmosphere from Umbrish and Van Dyck, Sienna and see what it's closer to original. However using grisalle colouring peasants faces become easier than paint it directly from umbra underpainting.

Хочу продать две копии

Доброго дня, вот многие летом уезжают отдыхать на море, загорать и купаться, но это те счастличики кто хорошо зарабатывает. Мне же летом пришлось рботать над этими копиями.
Друзья я собираюсь в Италию на дальнейшее изучение живописи старых мастеров, но мне неоходим глоток воздуха. Если кому-то нравиться звоните, узнайте цену, продам не дорого. по себестоимости работы (4 месяца, не считая лессировок), ну и сюжет по-моему неплохой, оцените как они смотрятся даже в пасмурный день у меня дома. 

Работы оформлены, можно вешать на стену.

Musicians flemish copy

Here's i think very funny paintings to come, the copy will be made in few month.. so today i'm starting to make the sketch painting and a bit underpainting with raw umbra, van dyck and red ochre. Some few videos of Rembrandt gesso i've seen on youtube. Also very helpful and i've seen flemish were used bunny glue to canvass.

Autumn is really dumby and grey, honestly im in very gloomy mood because i've no out from home expect the store. Even if i had a billion euro in my account i wouldn't be happy today. I hate cold autumn and bad weather hear.

The best way if you stuck like me to walk out or fly somewhere to change the place of your stay, i like discovering planet and journey.  Wheere i really wish to be now, In beautiful Budapest coffeshops where chocolate cakes and coffee are delicious.so you don't care rain.

The place of Budapest cafe is looking like emperor palace

My start for underpainting today morning 40x60

You rarely find in Moscow such quality cake caffee shop of eclairs will costs 7-8euro, in Budapest it's much cheaper  

When first time abroad in Hungary in 2000.. i was very surprise people got free entrance and use such places, and it's a number of such rich interriers very often. In Moscow it's a kinda very expensive hotels like Savoy, National in Budapest it's free for people it's a public places.
