Learn to create the full Petrykivka composition shown on the cover — step by step.

This workbook is Part 3 of the Modern Petrykivka Creator’s Roadmap series — a collection of guided step-by-step books designed to help you build complete Petrykivka paintings from individual elements to finished compositions.

Inside the workbook, you will gradually learn how to create the flowers, leaves, brushstrokes, and decorative details used in the final artwork featured on the cover.

Through guided exercises and structured lessons, you will practice:

  • foundational Petrykivka elements
  • round brush techniques
  • cat brush techniques
  • decorative leaves and flowers
  • composition building
  • combining elements into a complete artwork

Designed for both beginners and continuing students, this workbook helps you move from practicing individual elements to confidently creating your own finished Petrykivka painting step by step.

Inspired by a Ukrainian decorative art form recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, this series was created to make traditional Petrykivka painting approachable, structured, and enjoyable for modern artists around the world.

I finally understood how the elements are built

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.

Elena R., CA
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!
