Flower arrangement has always been a favorite practice and creative theme of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign painters, this kind of poetic combination of cut flowers and plants, deconstructed and then reconstructed beauty, back and forth for several hundred years, people seem to be tired of seeing.
The artistic beauty of flower arrangement
The art of flower arrangement includes many categories, which can be roughly divided into oriental floral art and Western floral art, in the oriental floral art, Japanese flower arrangement has a unique artistic conception, giving people an ethereal and calm feeling. Japanese florist Iris Wu is well versed in creating unique floral landscapes with the Japanese "Sword Mountain", and has shared many Japanese floral techniques as a guest at the femin before.
Flower utensils to pick
The picture of the Sword Mountain flower arrangement by Japanese florist Iris Wu is derived from the femin
Iris himself collected a lot of glassware, with this permeable material to show another temperament of Jianshan. From shallow plates and pudding plates to goblets, iris will finally display a complete desktop space, bringing out a beautiful picture of various glassware and Sword Mountain floral art.
Based on environmental protection considerations, Iris does not like to incorporate sponges into the creation of flower arrangements, and is good at making floral works with the reusable bottom of Jianshan, on the other hand, Iris believes that the form of Jianshan itself is beautiful and does not need to be covered with sponges. The size, shape and material of the sword mountain vary, and iris selected the 3 cm diameter sword mountain for demonstration this time, and this size of the sword mountain can match the glass container of the day perfectly.
Flower selection
Iris, who had no preference for bright colors in the past, graduated from the career change floral art course in bath, england, and found that the baptism of those days made him more courageous to appreciate and challenge various color combinations. She completed this colorful but temperamental floral combination with a combination of dyed phalaenopsis orchid, pink goldenrod stone garlic, orange land lotus, dark purple tulip and light purple vegetarian orchid.
Blocky flower species, triangular positioning
When starting the flower arrangement, iris will first select three flowers that can have a "color block" effect in the work for positioning, and place the three flowers on top of the Sword Mountain in a triangular positioning method. As a starter, she fixed the brightly colored, densely petaled land lotus and tulip in different directions. In this step, Iris deliberately leaves a few leaves of the flower itself to preserve the natural posture of some flowers being embraced by the leaves.
Scattered flower seeds to fill gaps
In the past, iris did not know how to appreciate and use golden garlic, but after returning from England, she liked these flowers that bloomed like small fireworks. When I finish, I use finely chopped golden garlic to bring out the high and low levels, "I will also use them to fill some gaps or gaps in the work." "Because it's visually a size, it's hollow, filling in the gaps without feeling crowded." And Su Xinlan was also cleverly integrated into the work by iris in this step.
When finishing the sword mountain work, it is suitable to add a little bit of pepper, which can make the whole work full of highlights, "This is the charm of the fruit!" Iris laughs and says, "Sometimes I play with flowers by myself, and I also like to use more patterned leaves, such as the leaves of star-dotted begonias and acacia taro, and I will put them with fruits or roadside flowers." ”
Observe the flow and display it
Preparing a complete desktop display of iris, adding orchids at the end after the four Sword Mountain flower arrangements have gradually taken shape, Iris describes his trick as: "Observe the direction in which they flow, and follow the direction to make the orchids feel like they flow out." The fresh orchids I just bought are relatively tall, and iris will trim them slightly when making them, so that the curvature of the stems can match the design direction of that work.
Finally, iris, who has a wonderful sense of beauty, took out a hardcover book, and created a sense of height according to the different characteristics of the four Sword Mountain flower arrangement works, so that the clean desktop instantly turned out a gorgeous garden party, and the crystal clear glassware not only brought out exquisite European feelings, but also compared with the Japanese blood of Sword Mountain, and the extremely complete and not difficult Sword Mountain flower arrangement was completed!
