"I've lived in Tula all my life, and it so happened that I had the opportunity to paint our city a lot and in various ways for various projects, mainly in connection with the packaging of pastilles and gingerbread. The idea of a travel guide was in my life a few years ago, but it wasn't realized then. I hope everything will work out now!", said the winner Svetlana Fomina.
Now Svetlana Fomina, under the guidance of representatives of the International Festival of Book Illustration and Visual Literature "Morse", will begin to draw the objects of the guidebook. The final printed version will be presented in Tula in the second half of December.
