"Seasons of the Year" /oil painting/sketches, life-size cardboard (1/2)

My greetings!
This painting is from a series of folklore tales about living nature. I have painted on this topic such works as "Fairy Night", "Fairy of fields", "Winter".
Like many people of the world, the Slavs have beliefs and legends about the seasons, which are often allegorically portrayed in the image of girls. Work on such a picture is always nice, because you can invite many girls to pose and,
of course, undress them.
It all began with a strange order for the monumental painting of the chimney hall in a private mansion. The owner of which is a nouveau riche. He told us / my friend - artist Senin Vitaly and me / - do whatever you want. And we, naive, believed him. Together with interior designer Starkova Oksana, we discussed the general idea and composition of the future painting. I invited the models to the studio, photographed and made a quick sketch on the computer.

We approved the sketch and proceeded to study the details and composition.
I called four girls - the seasons and two guys - morning and evening. Each has its own role, its outfit and its attributes.

We did sketches, etudes in color and life-size cardboard from them.


ARTIST: Alexander Korol& Vitaly Senin
