The art of decorating surfaces with paints and a brush is called art painting. The very concept of painting is seriously different from painting, as it is part of the space conceived by the artist.
Artistic painting was originally applied to any democratic and easily obtainable materials: leather, wood, natural fabrics, clay and bone. Skills were passed from generation to generation by craftsmen, specific artistic techniques appeared that helped to make the product recognizable. Over time, the most meaningful and expressive ornamentation was chosen. In architecture, ceilings, vaults, walls, beams were decorated with paintings, and in everyday life the decor was applied to household items.
The systematization of various types of painting was first begun back in 1876 by Professor A. A. Isaev in his two-volume edition entitled "Mines of the Moscow Province". Artistic painting enterprises are currently developing their business to meet the demand in the markets of Russia and abroad.
Khokhloma painting
In the rich floral ornamentation, the skill of the fine brush, which came from the monasteries, found application. From there, the secret was derived how to paint dishes golden without the use of gold. The painting has not changed until now and the process from ancient times to the present day is the same. The workpiece is turned from wood on a lathe, then primed with a specially prepared clay solution or artificial primers are used. The dishes are covered with paint based on tin or silver, less often - aluminum. They are painted according to a conceived motive and dried in an oven, then varnished and hot dried again.
Since the product undergoes intensive heat treatment several times, the paints were chosen from those whose brightness was not affected by high temperatures. It is black, gold and cinnabar.

Gzhel is unique, as each artist, using classical and familiar motives, creates a technique individually. The main role belongs to the experience of the master and the movement of his brush. At the same time, harmonious transitions from dark blue to pale blue appear on the whiteness from one stroke. Only one paint is used, cobalt, and the drawing is done very quickly, the first time.
Matryoshka
These figurines of different sizes, nesting one another, originate from Japan. These dolls became very popular in 1900, after an exhibition in Paris. The main production took place in the village of Polkhovsky Maidan, which was famous for both painting and turners - after all, the shape of the matryoshka still had to be carved.
