Imagine: every day surveying his magnificent garden, you will one day realize that he was something missing. Smooth the surface of emerald grass is beginning to annoy. Looking stops perfectly tonsured hedge - here, too boring. Begin nervously to circumvent their possession. It seems to be fine, but not eye to catch hold. Not encouraging, even the magnificent flower gardens. An urgent need to fix it! In such a situation from any landscape designer immediately followed by a succinct advice: "It accents. In landscape art adopted an artistic device - the so-called emphasis, ie, the placement of landscape accents. It is based on the most strong opposition, and emphasizing some parts of the overall landscape painting, drawing attention to their appearance or unexpected spatial distribution. Allocated part of landscape, as a rule, different sizes, original silhouette, color or brightness. Accents in the landscape can be a single group or planting trees or shrubs, and garden sculpture, garden furniture, any other architectural forms. This means that the focus can be both natural environment and to be artificially created, and, moreover, have a fashionable, modern appearance, or display elements "of the former ancient." In the old parks to enhance the expressiveness zhsch Shafts as a compositional focus has been used as Typically, garden sculptures - statues, vases, obelisks. This tradition continues in modern gardens, but today the statue is already a different meaning and serves more purely decorative funktsiyu.Esche an example of creating accents in the landscape landscape - single planted trees (tree or shrub) with high aesthetic qualities in a specially created to enhance its expression background. These are called tapeworms ("solitaire" in French - "alone"). For example, in regular gardens and parks of the French accents were considered fashionable cropped pasteniya. kototshm were attached not only to strictly geometric forms, but the outlines of more complex shapes, until the images of animals and birds. Soliternye landing - a very famous and popular landscape technique "borrow" once in nature, which is widely used at present. Suffice it to recall parts of the forest, where the background of birch trees suddenly appears at the edge of spruce or pine forest, a bright spot aleyut bunch ash. By learning from nature and trusting your taste, you can select plants with vysokodekorativnymi features of the crown, trunk, branching nature, beauty, flowers or fruits. But do not forget that in addition to choice, it is important to place the plant in the space area, it is to find a suitable place for it. As tapeworms are most often used conifers, because they do not lose their decorative effect for a year. For example, blue spruce barbed shape, giant arborvitae, Japanese larch, Scots pine, cypress nutkansky decorate the corners of your estate. It is now widely used decorative garden forms, such as weeping, kolonnovid in kind, spherical, spiral, dwarf, creeping, branched, or with an unusual color of the foliage. Among the beautiful hardwood accents will be birch, willow, oak, chestnut, maple, linden, mountain ash, magnolia, and flowering or dekoratianolistvennye shrubs (lilac, Spiro, Forsythia, Weigel and others). Especially effective your majesty and luxurious foliage single plant in a "mature" age. Location specific instances requires even more artistic taste than the placement of other types of crops. From this often depends on the beauty and elegance of the entire site. At the same time due to an unfortunate choice of sites most luxurious landscape can be mutilated. The fact that such accents, being isolated, necessarily draw attention to themselves, and if such facilities are too much of the attention is split, and the strength of impression is reduced. In addition, a tree, even very beautiful in itself, should be in harmony with the surrounding landscape or to create an elegant, not crude contrast. Finally, in the middle of the field a single instance of a more natural only when a regular layout, since they produce the natural breakdown of the "strange" experience. In addition, the same, and in regular gardens tapeworms that grow in the meadows, have one drawback: they obscure the lawns and reduce their area. However, agree that such a deficiency on a hot summer afternoon turns into an invaluable advantage. Accents in the park can serve as a small but vibrant group of trees, and so-called "buketnye" landing. Very interesting change of emphasis among plants occurs throughout the year. It can be seen in an unexpected autumn color change of leaves, blooming bright colors, attractive appearance of the fruit, etc. In addition, unusual landforms, rock outcrops, a waterfall or a lake may also be interesting accents in the landscape compositions. Sometimes the landscape may be present multiple accents. In this case, you must select the dominant - the main force of artistic expression accent, which, as it were subject to all the others. It can be determined by the most expressive form, color, texture or semantic content. As a rule, the most successful garden composition should always have one dominant and its additional emphasis. Otherwise, the view will not be able to stay on anything and will instinctively search for the dominant, and if he finds it, there is a feeling of dissatisfaction and sometimes subconscious anxiety. Use of the dominant, to correct, in accordance with the plan, to distribute the flow of attention in the garden. When planning a dominant wisely their subordination. Harmonic number of accents in the garden - five, seven or nine. Well, if they are different. You can emphasize the importance of accent the garden path. To the main emphasis should conduct the most extensive track, with direct gives a stronger sense than the meandering, and the track with elegant paving, usually corresponds to the most important sites.
