Cold and warm colors: floral arrangements

Every artist, interior designer, clothing designer or, for example, food designer, before starting to create their masterpieces, thinks about what mood and color scheme to choose for their work. It's no secret what effect color has on a person. Each of us has our own preferences regarding the color palette of so many things that surround us, which we use every day.




Pictures of interiors are analyzed from the point of view of the dominant color. At the bottom of each is a scale with a specific color temperature. This was done specifically to clearly show how cold and warm color palettes differ from each other and what mood they convey.




The task of today's master class will be to create floral decorative arrangements in warm and cold colors, which can then be presented to those you love for the holiday of March 8th. First you need to make a background in warm and cold colors.The materials you will need are watercolor paper, watercolors, a napkin, brushes, and a little later you will need a black marker with a thin tip and a black gel pen.



Use a damp cloth to moisten the paper.



Then randomly dissolve paints in warm shades, because now the workpiece will be prepared in a warm color. To avoid getting dirty, it is better to cover the table with oilcloth or newspaper.



If a sheet of paper is turned in different directions, the colors will flow picturesquely from one to another, resulting in new shades appearing.



The end result is something like this background.



The same manipulations must be performed for a drawing in a cold color.





In order to add complexity and picturesqueness, while the paints on the paper have not completely dried, the sheet is still wet, you can sprinkle water on top. Additional spots and inclusions will appear.



You need to let the paper dry thoroughly. If as a result of this process it is bent, it should be ironed through a clean sheet in order to straighten it.




Finally everything is ready for the next stage of work.



The flower arrangement is drawn randomly. If there is a certain amount of uncertainty, you can dream up your drafts by making quick sketches. Then you can make a preliminary drawing with a simple pencil, or you can immediately draw with a marker.




In the process, you may need colored pencils and felt-tip pens; you can draw some details of the drawing in watercolors.





At the end of the lesson we ended up with two completely different flower arrangements. All that remains is to arrange them in a passe-partout and place them in a frame under glass. Present ready by March 8th.
