Formal Garden is an intricate botanical floral Annie Sloan with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Decoupage Paper. Pieter van Kouwenhoorn (or Couwenhoom) was a painter who flourished in the 1620s and 1630s in the Netherlands. The illustrations Annie Sloan has featured here are taken from van Kouwenhoorn’s watercolour collection of botanical illustrations, which dates from the 1630s and celebrates popular flowers of the day. Here, stunning drawings of various popular flowers and blooms of the time are emphasised against a dramatic backdrop of Graphite (available as Chalk Paint® and Annie Sloan Wall Paint).
Formal Rome shows an Italian rather than an English garden plan. This elegant oval pattern from the Annie Sloan with the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Decoupage Paper uses an engraved plan for a parterre, from Giovanni Baptista Ferrari (1584-1655): “De florum cultura”. Rome: 1633. A parterre is an elaborate type of garden consisting of plant beds separated and connected by paths. Parterres feature ornate clipped box hedges swirling around pathways in mirrored or geometric patterns, often decorated further with statues. This design has been printed to match Chalk Paint® in Tilton.
Pack contains 2 x Decoupage papers. 30 gsm/ 11 lbs (US paper weight).
