About this work

This painting shows three plants with long green leaves and round flower heads. One flower is white with tiny purple tips, another is pale pink, and the third is bright yellow. Each plant has a small bulb at its base, drawn with roots hanging down. The artist paid close attention to the details of each flower and leaf, making them look realistic. The colors are soft and natural, with no harsh lines. Next, look up *watercolor* to see how artists use this technique to create delicate, layered colors.
