“School” crafts made of leaves, but by the hands of pros: in the Botanical Garden, an exhibition of paintings from flowers was prepared

In the Green House of the Botanical Garden of Peter the Great, an unusual exhibition was prepared, which reminds a little of those times when the school asked to bring dry leaves for crafts. But here everything is serious: professionals have created real leafy masterpieces. The press service of the Botanical Garden showed what paintings they got.

The exhibition was called the Florian Palette. The artists created their canvases completely without colors - their materials were dried leaves, flower petals, poplar down and other parts of plants. The technique is subtle and painstaking, but with its help you can convey the smallest shades and structures in detail.
