I was playing with textures. I’ve done an ethnic textile research a while ago.I painted the copies of the costumes in the museums. Here I would like to present some photos of my original painting and sketches. I decided to skip all frontal shots of the original art work, and instead photograph just the parts of the work with the angles. I did use prime lens as well as LensBaby for some of the presented work.
I am a passionate observer who likes to collect the moments and the looks.

Love your colors!
Wooooow absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing! What a neat idea to paint costumes! So many vibrant colors, do you remember what ethnicities the costumes came from?
Yes, those are Russian costumes from
different regions and they were more than 200-300 years old.
wow, AMAZING! thanks!

Incredible work there… love the mix of colors with the focus and blur of the lenses.
Gorgeous!!!
