Greog Dionysius Ehert was a German botanist and entomologist know for his botanical illustations
the earliest painting i could fine was 1732 and his last painting was in 1770 so from the 1730's to the 70's
im not really sure what his training was since it was so long ago thers not much information
they say that Ehret was one of the most inspirational botanical artist due to his development linnaean style of botanical illustrations
i picked this artist because i really liked the flower and i felt like it was somthing that could be a little challenging but also somthing that i could definetly make
i used the wheel thing to flatten the clay they cut out my little flower pieces and made the body of the flower and that was it
some challenges i had were making the petals and leaves all the right size and shape but really that was my only problem
success i felt like was kind of just the whole piece in the end i didnt feel like it really looked that good until it was glazed and full finished
the glazes i used were brown white yellow and green gloss glaze
