Master more complex floral elements through advanced Petrykivka brush practice.

Part of the Advanced Modern Petrykivka Skill-Building Workbook series — a collection of guided workbooks created for artists who are ready to move beyond basic Petrykivka elements and begin practicing more detailed floral forms and advanced decorative compositions.

This workbook focuses specifically on more complex flowers, layered brushwork, and ornamental floral structures inspired by the composition featured on the cover.

Through guided practice and step-by-step exercises, you will develop:

  • advanced floral brush techniques
  • layered Petrykivka flowers
  • decorative leaves and details
  • stronger brush control and precision
  • confidence in creating more complex compositions

Designed for artists already comfortable with foundational Petrykivka strokes, this workbook helps bridge the gap between basic practice exercises and more advanced decorative painting.

Petrykivka painting, recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, inspires the artistic language and decorative compositions explored throughout this workbook.

Inspired by the original compositions and artistic style of Kateryna Kryvolap, this guide was created to help artists continue developing their own creative language through structured artistic practice.

Perfect for practicing at your own pace

These guides feel approachable and beautifully organized. I could print the pages multiple times and slowly build confidence without feeling overwhelmed.

The practice pages helped my brushwork so much

I love how the workbook breaks everything down step by step. Practicing the individual strokes first made it much easier to understand how the final elements are created.

Kateryna is an amazing teacher

Always an amazing class! Today was the first class of the bird collection class. Amazing. Kateryna teaches how we can take our art to the next level by selecting our own colours and submitting our finished projects. She encourages with gentle suggestions when we ask. I have learned so much from taking many of her courses and highly suggest the practice pages! Can't wait to see what comes next!
