I am interested in creating educational books.
Today, there is hardly a puppeteer artist who is not familiar with the books of the expert in the field of Puppetry Nadezhda Gensitskaya.
Perhaps they are known to everyone.
Nadezhda is a recognized author of puppet-making textbooks.
The way of presenting the material is very interesting. The features of the embodiment of male and female images in the creation of a mobile and static doll with internal dynamics are revealed.
In her books, Nadezhda covers all stages of working on an art doll. Each edition is devoted to a specific topic, revealing the techniques of creating and the dolls themselves and accessories, which are necessary to create a holistic image.
The first book that gave the name to the entire series - "The Story of One Doll", was written in 2004.

And the newest book by Nadezhda Gensitskaya is “Dolls. Sense of color "- 2021.
The publication consists of a textbook describing the colors and color characteristics for determining the color type of the doll, and working materials: test collages, palettes and color cards for draping.
Nadezhda says:
I am interested in creating educational books. Interest to study a problem or technique, adapt it to our puppet theme and tell all this to the masters.
I think that my knowledge to some extent influenced the formation and development of doll making technologies. Having studied them, masters come up with new moves and use them in their work.
We can safely say that today, puppeteer artists, amateurs and admirers of the author's dolls have their own encyclopedia, a series of books that gives an opportunity to join knowledge and boldly step into the process of creation and the atmosphere of creativity.
And the books of Nadezhda Gensitskaya will help them with this.
