Hello everyone,
this is what i m currently working on. It is Serebriakov's Pirate bust.
Trying something new for me here. The main concept is described in the title. Don;t know how the final result will look like but i m quite pleased with what i see in front of me now.
Let me know your thoughts as i know this is a bit controversial.

Currently working on the white shirt.

This is going to be fun to watch. It will be interesting to see how you handle the lighting effect. It is looking stellar at the start. Keep us updated sir.

Very challenging project Dimitrios. But I am sure you'll pull it off and I already look forward to the result.

Cheers,
Adrian

Very interesting concept for painting, it's absolutly fanstastic work Dimitrios. I will follow your progress.

Already looking that this is going to be a unique master paintwork. Following with great interest Jimmy.

Excellent job as allways!!!Really looking forward to see the final result!

I believe this is going to be a stunner. Following Danilo Cartacci with this bust is a great challenge.
If i may: i think you gonna beat that one. Danilo lay the latter high with this bust.

Marc

I really appreciate all your comments and support. This must be the toughest thing i ve tried in a long time.
Marc my friend you are absolutely right about Danilo. He has set the bar very high.

This is a real painters challenge and a great chance to explore lighting concepts-I'm sure it will be a popular subject in the future. Great start on this I'm sure you will be able to pull it off-will be following with interest.

After observation of this work, I believe you are in creating a miracle! In so far effect do you think that is illuminated by a real restau Light!
This gives me the illusion until the outcome!
Congrats Jimian!
