| These Russian dolls are perfect for the artistic member of the family. Take these hand
turned Russian Linden moulds and create your very own dolls using
your imagination. Take a look at our souvenir section to get some
inspiration for how to decorate and finish them in a traditional
way.
This is a wooden figurine of a Girl Carrying Water from our “Paint
it Yourself” collection.
The base doll is made of Russian Linden wood and is ready to be
decorated. Decorating your own Russian doll can be great fun for
adults and kids alone, or it can be a wonderful time spent together
creating something together as a family.
You may want to draw a picture on a doll with a pencil first (her
face, headwear, dress). You can then use any paint appropriate to
be applied to wood (gouache, water based acrylic paint, oil paint).
Apply the paint evenly and let it dry. After the paint is completely
dry (refer to manufacture’s recommendations with regards to proper
timing), varnish should be applied to give your masterpiece a good
protection and shiny finish. It is always better to apply several
layers of varnish for the best results.
Enjoy and have fun!
Please have a look at the souvenirs section of our website to see
similar dolls painted in Russia by Russian artists to have some
ideas of how the complete doll can look like.
