Illustration Friday: Topic: Match
Ok, this may be a stretch…but this is the rough sketch for an illustration of a russian folk tale. I haven’t begun adding color to it but when I do, I will repost the piece. But aren’t they a good match…a handsome prince and his Russian princess.
One of my inspirations has long been the Russian Laquerware Miniatures from Palekh and Fedoskino. The detail in these tiny masterpieces is amazing. If you have never seen anything of the like, I suggest you check some out. This site has a good overview of the different styles that generate from the towns of the same names. Palekh, Fedoskino, Mstera and Kholui. The colors are fantastic, some are scenes of whimsy. The speak of times long ago and places far away.

This is a very nice piece. I can’t wait to see the finished color drawing. Very nice detail in the costumes especially the Princess’s vest.
