Please consider it as some kind of extension to my project https://fesechko.art/project-type/beggars-and-saints/"Beggars and Saints".
The model was sculpted by my friend Andrei Kostryuchin. It is not so big, the model is about 1:24 scale, but as soon as he is sitting..
Also this is my humble step to slowly move our miniature art from war and fantasy thematic. I really want to make more projects that can attract more people who have nothing with our miniature hobby. And I hope to proceed.
I painted it as I would do it on canvas, so all the shadows were painted in the same technique I paint shadows on canvases: using translucent oil paints. It was a tricky part and my first attempt to do it. But shadows play here a critical role in composition as they convey the main idea. As well as a warm light of the sunset. "Another day has passed".
Hope you like it!
And I want to say a lot of thanks to people of Paint-a-Palooza 2018 for your high appreciation of this project and your support!
Best regards,
Dmitry
By the way I have just noticed that we don't have a "civil" genre in a list here on PnP :)

It was truly an amazing experience and an honor to see this piece live. It is full of emotion and feelings, and it definitely makes you think. And at the end, that should be the main intention of art. Congrats!Dirk R.

Love everything about this project: the message, the technique and the realization. And also I totally agree with you for the need of a "civilian" cathegory, and more civilian subjects too in the industry! ;)Bran
