About this work

This painting shows three tall flower stalks side by side. The first has bright pink blossoms. The second is deep purple with dark centers. The third is pale white with green buds. Each stem has thin leaves and small side shoots. The flowers look like they’re pressed between pages—very still. The colors are soft but clear, with tiny details in the petals. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists use layers of paint to make flowers look this real.
