Hand or folk painting accompanied the life of the people of Ukraine at all times. Hand painted wooden and clay crafts with bright colors, drawing on them patterns. The painting was decorated with a dwelling, depicting on the walls those or other drawings. Natural paints were used as paints, for example, soot, cherry and beet juice, various broths.
Painting on wood is an old art form. Painted a variety of objects, from small powder boxes and wall plates, to chests and sledges. An example of Ukrainian painting on wood is a pysanka.
