This painting shows five different plants with bright flowers and green leaves. Two have white and yellow blooms, one is deep purple, and two are small and yellow. The roots are visible at the bottom, and the background is plain white. The artist focused on small details like the tiny hairs on the leaves and the shape of each petal. These plants are all types of anemones and ranunculus, which grow in fields. Try looking up *watercolor* to see how artists use this technique to make delicate, precise images.
