As a rule matryoshka is lacquered manually. This method looks the following way: some lacquer is pouured in the hand and the craftsman rolls the nesting doll in hands stroking it and rubbing the lacquer over the surface.
Attention! Now the traditional Russian matrioshka dolls painted with usse of decorative motifs characteristic of the traditional centers of Russian folk culture are in great vogue.
Sometimes while painting this or that matryoshka doll the painter tries to express a whole gamutt of his own and other people's emotions experienced in different situations.
The most characteristic feature of the modern individual matrioshka art is its picturesqueness. Very often the construction of the matryoshaka doll is sacrificed for the artistic effect.
Very often matryoshkas were painted with plots from old Russian fairy tales or bylinas such as ""Tsar Dadon" and "Tsarevna-Swan" by Pushkin, or the personages from Krylov's fables like "Quartet" and many other.
Very famous painter V.A. Favorsky said once that the Old Russian painting ": is the direct devellopment of the great Greek art and at the same time bears deep national Russian features".
