Saint Petersburg State University The main educational program "Painting". Review of the supervisor for the final qualifying work of the student Peng Tianqi. "Father" The student chose the theme for the picture not by chance. It is closely connected with the events in his family. The ability to survive a psychological drama, to paint a picture in which one feels respect for traditions, love and warmth, an expensive quality of an artist. Ability to work and good perseverance were the basis for the work on the diploma. Peng Tianqi showed sufficient training in professional skills. A large amount of time was devoted to the preparatory material. Tonal and color solutions were developed. A portrait and an image of hands were painted separately. The picture has complex candle lighting. The light from the candle gives a special mysterious mood. The graduate student worked with the legacy of the fine arts of past eras. That allowed him to achieve certain positive results. I would like to wish him not to stop there, to develop his professional and creative potential. Which is successfully declared in the diploma picture. Head of the graduation project: Filippov Andrey Mikhailovich.
