Petrykivka painting
Petrykivka painting is one of the types of decorative painting, which the peasants used to decorate their houses. Historically, Petrykivka was born on the snow-white wall of a country house in the village of the same name in the Dnipropetrovsk region in the center part of Ukraine. Much later, paintings were transferred to various useful things. The history of Petrykivka painting is still being studied in details, because it is not known exactly when exactly this Ukrainian painting appeared.
The history of Petrykivka painting began several centuries ago in the village of Petrykivka, in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Initially, this type of decorative art was used to decorate the interior walls of houses, stoves and household items. The women of the village passed down the secrets of painting from generation to generation, and over time it turned into a unique style with recognizable elements. The main motifs of the painting are flowers, herbs, berries, birds and other natural symbols that embody life, fertility and harmony with the nature. Each element of the composition carries its own symbolic meaning: for example, red viburnum is a symbol of beauty and virgin purity, birds mean freedom and inspiration, and oak leaves – strength and courage.
Currently, Petrykivka is included in the list of intangible heritage of UNESCO. During the master class, you will not only get to know the traditions more deeply, but also learn the basic techniques of this painting and paint a wooden board with your own hands, which will become a decoration and a talisman of your home.

Practical part. At the beginning of the master class, each participant receives working materials:
Participants choose elements for their composition: most often these are floral motifs — roses, hollyhocks, poppies or fantasy flowers typical of Petrykivka paintings. Our artist will demonstrate the basic techniques of applying paint, explain how to create volume using shades and strokes. Even beginners quickly master the basic techniques. There are no strict rules here – it is only important to convey the general harmony and rhythm of the composition. All elements can be stylized, and flowers can be fantastic, which gives space for creativity and self-expression.
We use cat brushes (brushes made of cat fur), traditional for Petrykivka. They were usually made with their own hands from the fur of pets. One of the traditional elements of Petrykivka is viburnum, which women made with their own fingers, so no two craftsmen ever had the same viburnum.

У меня синдром Стендаля сегодня. Утром ходили в Падуанский баптистерий. Смотрели фрески Менабуя. А после обеда у нас было посещение каппелы Скровеньи. Теперь я понимаю , что сделал Джотто для мира. Очень меня все это впечатлило в живую. Привет передала.
Мир прекрасен. Падуя очень понравилась:) спасибо за лекции Света!
