The manual contains 11 lessons and the collective work "Khokhloma bouquet." Samples of patterns characteristic of Khokhloma painting are given, which the child is invited to copy or reproduce on his own. The book offers training "prescriptions" on the topic of Khokhloma painting. The main patterns and ornaments ("grass," "leaves," "berries") are shown and discussed in detail (including the force of pressure, application of the brush).
