Click on the name of the artist, then click on "All Works Chronologically," to see how the artist progressed.

Edit: When searching Google Images for Fechin, remember that in Russia he was known as Feshin, so try both of them.

Thank you, Lawrence,

I'll keep this link bookmarked! I would love to see more, and I'll bet some others here would like to, as well!

Beautiful study, Dana! And so quickly!
But there is something I don't understand - is that mean we are copying any painting by these Russian artists or we are copying the paintings from 1st page? From 1st page I like "indian girl" the most but I saw also many beautiful ones in Wiki.

Sandra,

come on in, the water's fine, and you could do this in your sleep, chica!

Dominika, I don't see any reason why you can't use any painting by these three artists as long as it's a portrait. Just be sure to post your reference as well along with your study.

Sandra,

you have such a grand style in this study - I love it!

dominika · #25 09-03-2011, 10:59 AM

Thank you Nancy, I have one from Wiki on my eye. But now first one in charcoal.

**NancyMP** · #26 09-03-2011, 11:56 AM

Dominika, you have the gesture perfectly - her gracefulness and mystery are echoed in this piece!

**Dana Design** · #27 09-03-2011, 12:48 PM

Agree with Nancy. Use any portrait of the Russians.

And....I did that portrait a year or two ago! Honey babes...I don't paint that fast! To me, it's brain surgery, and I go s l o w l y.

Sandra, she is beautiful!

**!becca** · #29 09-03-2011, 05:38 PM

Here is a small 10"x8" Repin study I painted a few years ago.

**NancyMP** · #30 09-03-2011, 06:34 PM

That's so lovely, Becca! Do you happen to have the reference somewhere? I looked but couldn't find it on that site Lawrence gave us..
