Still life with Lilac - oil, canvas, 30x40(cm)-(12*16"), artist: Tatyana Chechun, 2023, Vilnius (Lithuania)
White lilac can be dyed blue, soft pink, golden yellow or carmine red. To do this, the base of its stems is cut and flattened, and then placed for two hours in a vessel with tinted water. When the flowers are colored, they are transferred to clean water. And to keep the bouquet longer, you can add one or two grams of citric acid per liter of water to the vase.
