Nice work, I'm really intrigued with the Russian style freehand popping up these days. It takes our hobby to a whole new level.

Fantastic!

Stanislav,

That is marvelous!! Like Mike, I too love the cloth patterns. I am overwhelmed with curiosity as to how to paint or draw such a wonderful pattern. Would it be to much to ask if you could give us a few ideas as to how to attempt something like this?

Wonderful painting, congratulations on a very very nice figure!

Kevin

Spectacular painting. The detail of the embroidery on the coat on such a small scale is superb. I admire your skill and talent.

Chris

Agreed Mike. Our Russian colleagues have outstanding skills and talent. Quite unbelievable detail they are able to paint on small scale figures. Truly superb work.

Thank you friends for your kind words! I am very glad that you like my modest creativity, and I will try to develop my skills and please all of you in the future!

Kevin, in a nutshell, it's hard to describe how to do this, especially for someone who does not know English well. I will show some photos of the process, maybe then it will become a little clearer.
1. First, do a sketch. 2. Draw more detail all the components of the ornament 3. Finally, we work through all the details of the ornament in various shades to give the volume.
Approximately so I work with ornament. Thanks!

FANTASTIC! Not only were you so kind as to explain (with great English) but included the photos that make your process very clear indeed. THANK you!

I have to admit I spent the evening dissecting the pattern and called a friend who has the skill to paint at this level and discussed it with him. Between that conversation and the pictures above, I have a pattern in mind that I will attempt on a figure I am currently painting.

I am curious, about how many hours did it take to paint this pattern, from start of sketch through shades and volume?

Thank you very much for your help Stanislav!

Kevin

Incredible !

Its one thing to brush on the pattern, but to add detail and depth to each aspect of the design is mind boggling!

Joe

Many thanks!)

I can not say how many hours it took to ornament painting, but all the work with a figure I've spent about 40 hours.
