"Dried Poppies - watercolor original dark red flowers and leaves" Painting

Ukrainian botanical artist. Fellow member of the Society of Botanical Artists (London) and member of Association of Botanical Artists ABA. The main direction of creative work is botanical watercolor painting. I also use colored and griphite pencils, acrylics and study various new techniques and materials. My special hobby since childhood is decorative Petrykivka painting, I decorate various objects, dishes, clothes, and canvas as commissions.
The main motifs of my works are flowers and plants. Nature is the richest source of inspiration, I consider it incredibly perfect and fascinating, it gives strength for life, development, and creativity. Nature is the best artist and creator in the world, and I have the honor to represent the beauty that nature created in my paintings through my perception and vision.
A feature of the watercolor technique I work with is the step-by-step multi-layer application of paint and significant detailing to convey color faithfully and create the most realistic image.
In my paintings, I want to show people the beauty of the nature around us, its incredible colors, details, and forms. Perhaps, in the rapid rhythm of everyday life and constant experiences, people overlook the wonderful elements and outlines of flowers, stamens, petals, and leaves. Maybe I will be able to surprise someone and create paintings in which people will see such beauty that they would not encounter in real life.
