This painting shows three tall plants with different flowers and leaves. One has purple, hooded blooms, another has pale yellow flowers, and the third has greenish-yellow buds. Each plant has long stems and narrow leaves, drawn with careful attention to detail. The artist focused on how each plant looks unique, even though they’re related. These are types of *Aconitum*—a group of flowers also called "monkshood" or "wolfsbane." Next, look up watercolor to see how artists build colors layer by layer.
