Three paintings of Moscow by Pëtr Pinkisevich (1925-2004). He mostly draw illustrations for soviet books; very soviet, very propaganda. But I like these three melancholic pieces. https://t.co/Bk5P6tACdX

As Mezen is archaic and bright, it had recently become very popular with #crafts and art education communities; it provides an ideal outlet for organized creativity. Just look on Google images with for "мезенская роспись", you'll find dozens of #tutorials. (3/5)
