Wood painting
Many who come to Russia buy folk souvenirs, such as nesting dolls. Previously, the majority of wooden products were made by rural hardworkers. One of the traditional types of painting on wood is Khokhloma.
In Russia, for many centuries they used wooden utensils. It was customary to eat from wooden utensils, which were skillfully carved and painted, such products were given decoration, decorated with ornaments of plants and animals. Entire villages were busy.
When did you find time to make wooden dishes?
With the onset of winter, when there was little domestic work, the villagers engaged in such a craft. Several centuries ago, people made good profits by producing such products. There was a time when in one year the population of one city produced nearly two million wooden spoons, dishes, bowls, and cups.
Manufacturing method
Not far from Nizhny Novgorod, villagers have invented a way to give painted products gold color and harden products. Invented paints and varnishes that were heat resistant. When the product was ready they were tempered in the oven. Silver dishes acquired a golden hue due to the high temperature. And today this technology is used in factories where such products are made.
Images in Khokhloma painting
Usually these are images of birds and fish, forests and meadows, as well as other images of Russian nature. Usually in the drawings you can see grass patterns, where delicate curls and leaves are combined with different types of berries. The colors that are characteristic of the painting are red, black, green and gold. In many countries of the world, products decorated with paintings adorn the tables of many families.
