Charming Euphaedra neophron (gold banded forester) Painting

I'm Tetiana Kovalova, a full-time botanical artist, who lives and creates in Ukraine. I’m a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists (ASBA), Association of Botanical Artists (ABA), Society of Ukrainian Botanical Artists (SUBA). As a philologist by my primary education and former occupation, I speak and understand the language of flowers, and translate it into paintings with the help of my brush. All my paintings are done in watercolor, which conveys the true beauty of the plant. It’s fundamental for me to paint realistic works - I want to convey the real appearance of the plant, without any decoration, since nature has already created it perfect. I depict wonderful flowers and plants, attractive to everybody, as well as the ones with some imperfections having charm and zest, which I try to discover and depict on paper. The more flowers I paint the more I understand how wonderful, perfect and fragile nature is.
