Painting with flowers, also known as flower painting or botanical art, is a form of art that focuses on capturing the beauty and details of flowers through paint or other mediums. Some of the characteristic features of painting with flowers include:

1. Realistic portrayal: One of the most important features of flower painting is the effort to create a realistic portrayal of the flowers. The artist attempts to capture the colors, textures, and details of the flowers to create a lifelike image.

2. Attention to detail: To achieve a realistic portrayal, flower painting requires great attention to detail. Artists focus on the intricate structure of the flower, including the petals, stamens, and stems, to create a meticulous representation of the subject.

3. Color blending and shading: Another important aspect of flower painting is the use of color blending and shading techniques. This helps to create depth and dimension in the painting, making the flowers appear more three-dimensional.

4. Composition: The way the flowers are arranged within the painting is also a significant feature of flower painting. Artists carefully consider the arrangement of flowers to create a visually appealing composition.

5. Emphasis on beauty and nature: Flower painting often focuses on the beauty of nature, with the flowers serving as a symbol of the natural world. This creates an emphasis on the beauty of the flowers and their connection to the larger natural environment.

Perhaps, still life is the most diverse genre. It includes bright and pastel, juicy and fading, very natural and exquisitely matched images. It is enough to remember what a variety of flowers exists in nature, in order to imagine the whole range of pictures depicting them, and it mixes with the style and the personal vision of the artist. In any case, this is a fairly positive genre, which even wilting shows beautifully. And the naturalness of flowers and fruits always lifts the mood, as if bringing [Expand] a fresh breeze filled with their scents.   1

Petrov-Vodkin's (1878-1939) painting "Morning still life" is filled with quiet joy, so it is very pleasant to look at it. The soft morning light falls on a rough table made of warm light wood, on which there are only a few items. A simple glass vase that barely holds fresh wildflowers – delicate blue bluebells and bright yellow daisies. Nearby — a very simple Breakfast – hot tea and boiled eggs. In the Nickel-plated surface of the teapot, you can see the reflection of a wonderful red cat, [Expand] which, apparently, is nestled on the owner's lap. Calmness and peace take possession of the viewer while viewing this still life. In a hungry time, such a Breakfast was welcome, the artist captured a beautiful morning and real life, without embellishment. It is possible that the author expressed in it his view of life, faith in a better future. Public Domain L'immagine di Petrov-Vodkin "Morning Still Life" ? piena di gioia silenziosa, quindi ? molto piacevole da guardare. La morbida luce del mattino cade su un tavolo ruvido di legno chiaro caldo, che ospita solo pochi oggetti. Un semplice vaso di vetro in cui i fiori freschi di campo si adattano a malapena – delicate campane blu e margherite gialle luminose. Nelle vicinanze-una colazione molto semplice - t? caldo e uova sode. Nella superficie nichelata del bollitore, ? possibile vedere un riflesso di un meraviglioso gatto rosso che apparentemente si ? rifugiato sulle ginocchia del proprietario. La calma e la pace dominano lo spettatore mentre guarda questa Natura morta. In un momento di fame, una tale colazione era benvenuta, l'artista ha catturato una bella mattina e la vita reale, senza abbellimenti. ? possibile che l'autore abbia espresso in lei la sua visione della vita, la fede in un futuro migliore.   2

artist: Paul Gauguin (1848 — 1903) Public domain "Still life with Laval's profile" - oil on canvas. The painting was painted in 1886 by the French artist Paul Gauguin. To date, the canvas is on display at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The painting shows Gauguin's friend Charles Laval in profile, surrounded by inanimate objects. Among other items on the table is a ceramic pot that Paul Gauguin made with his own hands. The description of the picture The combination of portrait and still [Expand] life in this case shows how skilfully Gauguin was able to draw all the best from the masters he admired. For example, a fragment of Laval's face in the painting is made in the manner of Edgar Degas (his works were characterized by asymmetric, strangely cropped compositions). The technique of still life, in which fruits are written in parallel strokes, can be compared to the works of Paul Caesan. In addition to performing his favorite artistic techniques, Gauguin added another detail from himself to this work. It was a ceramic vase, a strange, bizarre and even somewhat frightening shape, which Laval carefully examines in the picture. Gauguin deliberately used the technique of two of the most famous representatives of the art Nouveau and still life genres at that time. At the same time, the artist did not seek to harmoniously embody these two techniques on the canvas. On the contrary, Gauguin leaves them in some disagreement, bringing the impression of incoherence of the composition. This is his first painting in a series of paintings that challenge creativity. Laval, as a spectator, tries to anticipate Gauguin's next move.   3
