They do paintings in oil, watercolor, acrylic. Sometimes the images are sprayed from cans or laid out in a mosaic. But did you know that you can sculpt paintings from plasticine? Falling in love with plasticine painting, not only creating works of art but also opening your own studio, and even developing methods of art therapy?
Artist, psychologist and child educator Natalia Prokopishena has done it since she opened her studio "Fairy of Miracles" 2 years ago in Mariupol. Self-confidence and love for art helped Natalia not to give up because it is difficult to keep the business afloat:
"The studio is under development, so it constantly requires certain costs, i.e. for materials, equipment, furniture, salaries, rent," to cover all these costs is difficult, so Natalia was always looking for more funding. She has already applied to one of the USAID grant programs and also sells paintings made for order around the world.
