I would generally questioned whether or not to revive the academic style of painting. But this is so, to the word. Just no sense that in this particular case has some value the ability to draw (write) from nature. We can do without nature, on the photo to get a similar result.
If interested, see the website.
Belarusian artist, but now no longer in Belarus. Only if you look, then a lot of pictures, because he has a very different thing in sound. Also if you want you can smash. But he really knows how to draw perfectly. Site
