BOTANICAL ILLUSTRATION

Herbarium. Maple. Autumn Duet.

"World Botanical Art 2018" or Botanical Art Worldwide is a project that unites artists from all over the world. This year, BAW exhibits will be held simultaneously in 25 countries on 6 continents: Australia, Bermuda, Brazil, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, China, Colombia, Korea, Costa Rica, Mexico, Ukraine, France, Japan, etc. became the participants of the project. BAW brings together a common theme - the image of wild plants of its country in the classical genre of botanical painting.

The opportunity to participate in the exhibition BOTANICAL ART WORLDWIDE RUSSIA 2018 pushed to new illustrations and applications of mixed technologies. These illustrations use maple leaves, graphite and watercolor.

My favorite thing is dry leaves. The creation of any work consists of a large number of stages. First I draw figures with graphite and find interesting perspectives. From the best sketches I draw interesting compositions and think about the color solution.
