Wow, the close up photos make it look easy. It's only when you you see the bust at a distance that you realise how incredibly detailed the painting and pattern design is. Spectacular painting.
Hi Olga, thanks for sharing your painting tips and good to see you posting on here-whenever I show my friends your figures in the cabinet-the reaction is usually "How does she do that" hopefully this will go some way to explaining! Looking forward to the new figures hopefully they will arrive this week-best regards.......Keith
Olga, thank you very much for this useful step by step. Anyway it´s clear, all that is needed to do this, is talent, good vision, fine drawing, precission and tons of patience.
Exceptional painting. It's really what the Planet is all about when giving advice......showing your own examples of your work with excellent pictures. Brilliant stuff.
Hi Mike!
Just water.
This time I used two fotos from a magazine '' Interior and Design''. I liked the pattern in one of the fotos and I liked the combination of colores in the other.
Best regards,
Olga Zernina.
Thanks Olga, this is perfect timing because I started painting this bust last Friday and wanted to do a pattern on his coat. Your pattern has given me a good starting point to find one I like.
Truly amazing work....One of the best SBS I have seen.No fooling around and getting right to the point.Very much appreciated.You ARE a true artist...............Wayne
