About
Such beautiful flowers, and their life is so short. You want to catch, remember and decipher their beauty - your eyes look and run so quickly that it is impossible to catch many details. Glare helps to determine the location and shape of the flowers, and the background is inseparable from the bouquet - it is a single whole.
Technique
The painting is done on canvas on board in the alla prima technique, mostly with cold colors and a few warm shades that accidentally crept onto the canvas, which, in combination with the overwhelming cold colors, do not look even a little warm. The entire background of the canvas was previously covered with a range of cold shades of the future painting.
