All we need is a touch of creativity, canvasses, test tubes, the proper adhesive know-how and, of course, the main actors: some uniquely beautiful flowers set in glass vases!

Paint the canvas borders (about 10 cm wide) with the lighter color tone.

03

Use the darker color for the inner part, paint on the still wet color edges and let them bleed into each other. This creates a color gradient moving from light to dark.
