About this work

This painting shows nine flowers on a plain background. The flowers are drawn one by one in a grid. Some are white, some red, and one is a pale pink. Their stems and leaves are green, and the petals look soft and detailed. The flowers are all different types, but they’re all drawn the same way—simple and clean. The artist focused on getting the colors and shapes right. If you like this style, look up watercolor to see how artists use thin layers of paint.
