About this work

This painting shows six different plants with small flowers and long stems. Each plant has roots drawn at the bottom, and the flowers are clustered in tight groups. The colors are mostly soft greens, browns, and pale pinks. The artist paid close attention to tiny details, like the shape of each leaf and flower. These plants look like they were studied carefully, almost like a science drawing. If you like this kind of detailed plant art, check out the technique: watercolor.
