The bottom left tulip is dark red with white stripes and long, thin petals. The bottom right tulip is yellow and red with shorter, more rounded petals. The tulips are painted in watercolor on a white background. The artist has used glazing to create subtle color transitions and depth in the flowers. The overall effect is delicate and lifelike.
