Khokhloma
Khokhloma is an old Russian folk craft that appeared in the 17th century in the village of Khokhloma. The painting looks bright despite the dark background. Colors such as red, yellow, orange, slightly green and blue are used to create the picture. Also in the painting there is ALWAYS a gold color. Traditional elements of Khokhloma are red juicy berries of rowan and strawberry, flowers and branches. Birds, fish and animals are also common. Currently, the Khokhloma painting has two centers - the city of Semyonov, where the factories "Khokhloma painting" and "Semyonovskaya painting" are located, and the village of Semino, Koverninsky district, where the enterprise "Khokhloma artist" works.
