This core drawing tutorial has been initiated by the founder of Petrykivka painting school Oles (Oleksandr) Stativa - grandfather of Dariia Nikolaieva - in the 1950s in Ukraine but was not published due to political censure. While carefully preserved and kept true to the original work, this book is published in a digital format in order to reach a wider audience.
