gardens, we buy them at the florist, we are given them as
bouquets to celebrate a a birthday, anniversary or to wish us a
speedy recovery. Unfortunately, most blooms have a short life. I
adore flowers and as an artist, I have learned to preserve
something of their essence in a flower painting forever. If you
have ever wished you could do this with a favorite bloom, then
read on.
Flower painting has a wonderful history. Botanical art has been
used to document numerous species of flowers and plants. There
is something very satisfying and magical about painting a flower
and preserving just what it was like forever. Of course, flower
photographs can do the same but when you paint you have the
added pleasure of carefully examining the curves and colors of
each petal, stamen, stem and leaf. You have to observe the way
the light catches the flower and use this information to give it
a 3D presence on your paper. By painting flowers, you get to
know them intimately.
I would advise anyone wanting to start painting to begin with
their favourite flower, no matter how complex it might seem. By
choosing your favourite, you will be motivated to try again to
Boxed Flower Programs A discussion of the current debate regarding boxed flower programs. Arguments for both sides are brought to light and a case is made for the over-all increase of sales of fresh cut flowers in the US.
A current floral industry buzzword is “boxed flower program”. This refers to the practice of selling flowers to the consumer in a box, normally through distribution channels other than the traditional retail florist. Some boxed flowers come directly from growers, some come from order fulfillment centers. In all cases, the flowers are delivered by a freight servic ..
render it well. Your feelings have a better chance of being
transferred into your flower painting too. When a flower
painting makes you gasp, it is because it initially did the same
for the artist and they have found a way of sharing that with
you. It doesn't matter if your attempts aren't perfect. Each
time you try you will become more familiar with it's shape. It
will seem easier to paint and you will notice more about the
nuances of colour and the way light can affect it.
Of course, there are some useful techniques which might help you
learn flower painting. Many excellent art books have been
written about this topic and your bookstore will certainly have
several. But be wary of simply copying another artists'
techniques. You may be surprised to find that you are less
satisfied with the results than you are with simply observing
your favourite flower and perfecting your vision of it with each
attempt.
Try drawing with different materials, have fun and keep all your
attempts. You will be encouraged to see how your vision and
skill improves simply by practise. I use pastels, both the soft
Wedding Bouquets: Fresh Flower, or Silk?
When you are thinking about the wedding bouquet you want for your wedding, the first thing you need to consider is whether you want to have fresh flowers, or silk flowers.
Don t just assume that you should get fresh flowers!
There are many good reasons for why you might choose to get silk flowers instead...
Probably the biggest benefit of silk flowers, is the cost. Usually, a silk flower bouquet will end up being considerably cheaper than a fresh flower bouquet. It s much cheaper to make a silk flower, than it is for a farmer to carefully grow a fresh flower in their garden, and then ..
powdery ones and the deliciously oily variety. I love them
because of their beautiful range of colors, from very pale to
vibrant hues. I can extend this even further by overlaying thin
veils of colour, allowing the underneath ones to sing through.
Or perhaps you could try watercolor? This has long been a
favorite of flower painters and botanical artists and for good
reason. The way you can allow one luscious colour to randomly
bleed into another, just as it does in nature, is very
mouth-watering!
As you can tell, I am fanatical about flower painting but I do
hope I have managed to awaken a little curiosity in you. Have a
go! What have you to lose?
