Nowadays many painters have adopted Taguil one stroke painting technique - originally it is done in oil colours but now you can see many alike acrylic decoratrive works based on this style.
I've compiled here several styles - Zhostovo, Palekh laquered miniature, Gzhel, Taguil painting and Fedoskino miniature. Each Folk Craft industry is not only a center of unique Art, but a place with it's own peculiar natural features, history, way of life and culture. Mainly all of these styles date back to the 1st half of the 19 cent., but the art of ironworks' painting and one stroke technique arose in the middle of the 18 cent. in Ural-Siberian and Taguil painting

The major part of these artworks is represented by Zhostovo laquered trays It appeared in the early 19th century mainly under the influence of the Ural handicraft of flower painting on metal. Zhostovo painting is a handicraft of painting on metal trays, preliminary coated with a few layers of priming (putty) and oil varnish (usually, black). Painting is done in a few consecutive energetic and firm strokes with a soft brush and oil paints, richly diluted with linseed oil. The most widely used motif of the Zhostovo painting is a bunch of mixed garden and wild flowers, which is simple and laconic in its essence. The edges of a tray are painted with a light golden ornament called уборка (uborka). A finished tray is then covered with three layers of light lacquer and polished to brilliance.

In the late 19th early 20th century, the Zhostovo painting handicraft fell into decline. During the Soviet times, it was brought back to life after a number of artels had united themselves into one called Metal Tray in 1928. Today, it is called the Zhostovo Factory of Decorative Painting
