Petersburg Concert continues the tradition of holding art exhibitions within the walls of the Catherine’s Assembly. On the eve of International Women’s Day, an unusual opening day will be held here. March 6 at 17. 00 St. Petersburg artist, teacher, member of the Creative Union of Felt Masters Yulia Chaika will present her works made using the technique of “woolen watercolor”. Visitors will be presented with more than 20 paintings painted without the usual paints and brushes, and with the help of colored fibers of the finest wool of the Australian merino.

“Woolen watercolor” is a relatively new type of decorative and applied art, combining elements of painting and needlework. Due to the flexibility of the material, as well as the skillful use of various methods of working with it, completely unusual works of art are obtained. Visitors will see still lifes with flowers and fruits, animalistics, various landscapes and even portraits. In addition to the author’s stories, “woolen” works based on paintings by famous artists will be exhibited.

The artist masterly owns the technique of working with wool. Her canvases are almost indistinguishable from those painted by paints. Feature is a detailed drawing. The process of creating paintings is incredibly time-consuming, and sometimes it takes several months to work even in a small format.
