Forest, like a painted tower,

Purple, gold, crimson,

Cheerful, colorful wall

It stands over a bright meadow.

(I. Bunin)

Look how many colorful leaves autumn gave us. Each leaf is like a small tree, and the veins on them are like a trunk and branches. Let's try to make a picture of an autumn forest out of them.


We take White list rectangular shape 30x40. We paint over the background. We use blue (sky, green and yellow (the color of autumn grass) watercolor for this.


We blur the boundaries, make the transitions smoother. Let the background dry.


We lay out large leaves on the horizon line and glue them.


Then we place small leaves just below the horizon line so as to create a color contrast so that the trees are more expressive in the image. We glue them.


We cut the fern leaf along the central branch and lay out the grass in the clearing, glue it.


In the foreground, along the edges, we first glue large leaves in the same order ...


... and then small ones. We glue the grass.


To revive the picture, we glue mushrooms from small leaves, draw birds with a felt-tip pen.

Like towers, Christmas trees darken,

And between the maples they turn blue

Here and there in the foliage through

Clearances in the sky, that windows.

The forest smells of oak and pine,

During the summer it dried up from the sun,

And Autumn is a quiet widow

He enters his motley tower.

(I. Bunin)

Here is the autumn landscape. Try doing the same with the kids.

aim This work is to study the styles of floristry, to show the example of their own work.

To achieve this goal, a consistent solution is proposed within the framework of research work the following tasks:

1) Get acquainted with the styles of floristry;

2) study and analyze the materials used by florists;

3) do the work from dry leaves


Relevance This work is due to the fact that it is necessary to find interesting and unusual in what is available for observation and study, without requiring special efforts and costs.




Natural and artificial materials in floristry

  • plant material. Floral material is primarily fresh flowers and plants. Fresh flowers and plants for floristry can be divided into 3 groups. As a rule, plants of all three groups are used in the compositions.

  • First group- linear plant material, it is also often called shaping material. To linear material tall grass stems, tall ornamental plants or large leaves, which are used to form the structure, or skeleton, of the composition can be attributed. Examples: forsythia, delphinium, boxwood, privet, gladiolus, tall rose, eucalyptus, jasmine, broom.

  • Second group- the main plant material or focal material. It consists of large flowers or inflorescences of smaller ones. Possible to use bright leaves. Examples: gerbera, chrysanthemum, anthurium, lily, peony, tulip, poppy, rose, hydrangea, dahlia, geranium.

  • Third group- plant material filler or other name - additional material. Plant filler material - various leaves or small flowers, which cover the fasteners and edges of the vase and which, in addition, add variety to the appearance and color scheme of the composition and fill the voids. Examples: carnation, scabiosa, alstroemeria, aster, gypsophila, freesia, euonymus, solidago.

Branches of trees and shrubs

Large branches, straight or intricately curved, are ideal for creating the basis of plant arrangements, while thin flowering branches can emphasize the elegance or splendor of a bouquet.


Lichens and mosses with an interesting natural structure, they have a set of properties that allow them to become an excellent decor:

They serve as an original decorative edging when composing compositions from dry herbs or natural flowers.


  • Needles and cones. Amazing parts of coniferous plants are perfect for Christmas and New Year compositions. Winter bouquets of Christmas and pine branches, neat Christmas wreaths on the door, candle stands made of coniferous branches not only decorate and create a holiday atmosphere for their appearance, but they also smell wonderful resin.

birch bark - durable and easy to process material has long been used in folk crafts for the manufacture of bast shoes, tueskov, boxes, dishes and even dolls. Flexible, lightweight and water-resistant, this material is perfect for decorating rustic plant arrangements like no other.


  • Decorative gravel and earth . Multi-colored pebbles of bright colors are great for filling vessels made of transparent material, such as glass or plastic. You can achieve an excellent effect by pouring elements of various shades into one container.

Step-by-step instruction

Helpful Hint: Before you make a picture of autumn leaves, you need to dry them. To do this, put a few leaves between the pages of the book and leave them there for a few days. So they dry faster and remain perfectly even.

  1. Use a fiberboard sheet as a base. Do the front side of the picture on its rough side.
  2. Mix dry glue with water so that a thick mass is obtained, to which it will be easy to attach. necessary materials. The solution can also be prepared in this way: mix dry glue with flour in a ratio of 6 to 3 and add a little PVA glue.
  3. When the mixture acquires the viscous consistency we need, mix everything well and apply to the frame.
  4. Lubricate the painting canvas liberally with PVA glue around the entire perimeter of the frame. Let it dry a little. Then apply a pre-prepared mass on top (the layer thickness should be approximately 1 centimeter).
  5. Immediately lay spikelets of wheat on top of it, sprinkle with millet. Press them in as tightly as possible, but so that they remain on the surface.
  6. Then lift the picture and gently shake off the excess grits.
  7. After half an hour, mix PVA glue and acrylic varnish (in a ratio of 1 to 1), cover the ears and millet with the resulting mixture. Immediately after application, the color of the composition will be white, but after drying it will turn into a transparent one.
  8. After the glue and varnish are completely dry, paint the frame with gold paint. To do this, use a wide brush. Next, paint the spikelets with bronze paint.
  9. Pour some white acrylic paint into a small container and add water. So the paint will lay down more evenly.
  10. Also paint the surface of the hardboard. Do this very carefully so as not to touch the frame. Your fiberboard sheet will look like a canvas.
  11. After the paint begins to dry a little, start applying the background.
  12. Make all strokes smooth. In the middle, closer to the top, paint over with white paint.
  13. Next, start darkening the background. The middle should turn out to be slightly lighter than the main tone of the canvas. The closer you move to the edges (the frame of the picture), the darker make the base color. To do this, after staining the center, pour into white paint a little gold.
  14. Then add some yellow tone. Take the yellow watercolor paint, after mixing lightly with white so that it is not very bright, and paint over a little White background. Set the workpiece aside until completely dry.
  15. For decoration in our example, different autumn leaves, thin birch branches and various dry herbs were used. You may also need rowan berries, some acorns and flowers.
  16. Take the already dried blank of the picture and start decorating it. On the landscape sheet, draw the silhouette of a girl. If you do not know how to draw, you can find a ready-made sample. Cut it out along the outline.
  17. Next, cut off the skirt from the contour and paint the upper part of the female silhouette in gold. You can use the same paint that was used to paint the base. Cut off a few small strips from the rest of the paper. These will be the eyelashes.
  18. Glue the top of the blank to the canvas. Then form a wreath of grass, leaves and rowan berries on the girl's head. To fix it on the canvas, mix PVA glue and acrylic paint in a ratio of 1:1. With this composition, you will later mount the rest of the details.
  19. According to the layout prepared earlier, make a girl's skirt from leaves. Glue them in rows, starting at the hem and moving up.
  20. Fasten a few branches with leaves near the girl’s hands. You can also use additional decorative elements.
  21. Glue branches and leaves on both sides of the girl, laying them out in the shape of a tree. Glue them from the top level, gradually dropping down.
  22. In the lower left corner of the picture, glue a few leaves, blades of grass, small flowers and acorns there.
  23. If there is still free space left in the picture, you can fill it in the same way or just paint it over with gold paint.
  24. After finishing work, paint over the entire picture with a mixture of varnish and glue. This will make it more voluminous and shiny.

Autumn crafts and paintings look very beautiful and original. It is especially exciting to create them together with small children. The work, of course, is painstaking, but in the end you will get a unique decoration that can be presented to relatives or, for example, used to decorate the interior.

We stopped after a long shot. Now from the leaves of burdock I glue the distant shores, the foreground from the leaves of the lily of the valley.

I make a hint of a path from a narrow strip of lily of the valley, I plant a bush near the path. Above, I told you how to make distant trees. And I glue water from silver poplar. The water should be the same color as the sky, only darker.

Now the small details begin. We need to depict the reflection in the water. I do this from small strips, you can tear the leaves in pieces, as you like.

And in the meantime, we cut out the outline of trees from paper with foreground. I have birch. I choose the right shades for the trunk. Again, this is silver poplar. Nowhere without him. He is everywhere. Fortunately, it grows in all latitudes and climatic zones.
Someday I will write an ode to silver poplar, as the most irreplaceable tree in floristry!

The birch trunk is visually divided into three parts and sealed with three shades from dark to light. This will give it volume. I sealed the bottom of the trunk with a banana. On the sunny side, I scraped the banana with a scalpel and it became lighter there.

It's time to hoist birch trees in the intended place.

It's time for branches. I showed you three options. Thick from birch bark and banana and thin from strawberry roots. In the spring, when transplanting, my strawberry roots are cut off and put into a book. they will arbitrarily curve and will perfectly depict tree branches.

Here it is the main torment! Before the trees are covered with autumn foliage, grass must be planted. We make it using the same technology as reflection in water. It doesn't look very good yet. But we care about the end result.

That's already better. By the way, I changed the front edge and covered it with a sheet houseplant. (I don’t remember the name. Tall with large spotted leaves.)

— universal material for creativity. Pleasant to the touch, amazing in variety and absolutely free. And kids love playing with it. If you want to entertain the kids with crafts from the gifts of autumn, hurry up, there are very few leaves left in the parks. And we will share with you tips on how to prepare autumn leaves for application, and ideas for unusual panels and paintings.

The collected leaves must be dried. You can do this with an iron, ironing each leaf through a layer of paper. And you can, as in childhood, put the leaves between the pages of a thick book and put in a warm place. In 6-7 days, the moisture from the leaves will go into the paper, they will even out and dry out.

Dry Leaves Painting Ideas

The leaves are shaped like trees. By combining leaves of different species, you can create the impression of a bright autumn landscape. To make a house, cut out a square from a large maple leaf. In this picture, the leaves are overlapped. Make sure that each new layer is glued when the previous one is a little dry.

In this landscape, dry leaves, petals autumn colors, spikelets and maple "airplanes". The dried material is glued to the cardboard with PVA glue.

The leaves have turned into trees, and the ground and distant houses are painted in watercolor.

These graceful figurines are assembled from leaves of different sizes. First, the general outlines of the figures were drawn, and then the contour was filled with leaves that were suitable in shape.
