Contrary to popular belief, I draw other kinds of skating aside from figure skating.

There is a competition in long-distance wild ice skating taking place this weekend at a water reservoir in Czechia, and I drew the diplomas for the winners! ✨️
A diploma for a skating competition. It features the words "Diplom za", which mean "Diploma for", the rest to be written in on-site. On the lower part of the piece, a castle is painted above a frozen lake.
