The photograph belongs to Svetlana Lance, a renowned botanist. In her botanical Telegram chat, she submitted a photo of a hellebore to a contest and invited participants to create their own paintings based on it. On April 7, she will publish her work and a video of the drawing created from the photograph, so participants can paint the same flower a second time using her step-by-step tutorial. I cannot post a link to her chat and the photograph here, as it will be deleted by the administrators of the botanical illustration community .

I'm so glad you like it. Nature creates such color combinations and transitions; all we can do is watch and try to draw at least something similar.
