Art class - lesson 2 / Арт-школа - урок № 2

Yesterday we finished our beloved satyr. "Beloved" - because it was not the first time we met. Our other passion - "Apollosha" with his wonderful curly hair and a bow (below).

Вчера завершили нашего любимого сатира. "Любимого" - потому что не первый раз встречаемся с ним. Еще один наш друг - "Аполлоша" с чудесными кудрями и бантиком. Чего он только не выслушал в свой адрес, красавец!

	По дороге домой из арт-школы встретила вот такого парня. Чем-то он меня привлек - своей беззащитной доверчивостью, может быть:))
On my way back home I noticed this guy. Isn't he touching? **********

One of my favourite painters - Nikolai Fechin

First I heard about Nikolai Fechin last year when our teacher in art school gave us some drawings to copy. The works attracted our attention at once. His style was very special, seemed to be simple and quite expressive. Most of the students picked up his portraits for copying.
Nikolai Fechin was born and educated in Russia, famous Russian painter Repin was one of his teachers. Then he moved to USA. Traveled a lot to Mexico, Bali and Japan.
Here are my copies of his "Bali woman" and "Bali boy with a bandage".



Not only Nikolai Fechin is master of drawing, his painting also are brilliant, both in expressive and elaborate styles (please see two paintings of Fechin).
