Before you start work, you need to prepare:
- six wooden blanks (you can cut them out of plywood yourself or purchase them at a specialized store);
- watercolor;
- pencil;
- acrylic lacquer;
- brush with synthetic bristles No. 3 (for painting);
- round brush with synthetic bristles (for applying varnish);
- eraser;
- a device for burning;
- container with water.

2. On the second blank, draw a border and draw a rosehip flower;
3. On the third stand, depict strawberries, daisies and a border;
4. On the fourth blank, draw raspberries and a border;
5. On the fifth stand, draw a sprig of rowan berries, lingonberries and a border;
6. On the sixth blank, draw a rosehip and a border;
7. Turn on the burning device and wait until the tip heats up.Then carefully burn the outlines of the dahlia and border onto the first piece;
8. Burn out all the other supports, carefully tracing the pencil outlines with the tip of the burning device. Then turn off the device and use an eraser to remove all pencil lines;
9. Prepare watercolor paints for work by lightly moistening them with water. Then paint the stand with the rosehip on it. To make the color more saturated, apply several layers of paint to the flower petals. Paint the border with light brown paint;
10. Paint the second stand, which shows strawberries and chamomile. On the leaves, mix green and yellow paint to achieve smooth color transitions;
11. Paint the dahlia blank. Paint the tips of the flower petals with white paint, and their main part with pink;
12. Then paint the blank on which a sprig of rowan and lingonberry is burned;
13. Paint the stand on which the raspberries are burned;
14. Paint the blank on which the rosehip flowers are burned;
