Khokhloma painting is a traditional Russian folk art that is known for its distinctive red and gold floral patterns on wooden objects. It originated in the Khokhloma region of Russia in the 17th century. Khokhloma items are typically wooden tableware, such as plates, spoons, and bowls, decorated with intricate hand-painted designs.
The key characteristics of Khokhloma painting include bright red and gold colors, stylized flowers and berries, and intricate detailing. The process involves several layers of paint and varnish, which give the objects a glossy and lacquered appearance. Khokhloma items are not only functional but also highly decorative and are often used for special occasions and celebrations.
