About this work

This page shows two pressed plants side by side. One has clusters of small white flowers and green leaves. The other has bright red berries and similar leaves. The background is plain, letting the plants stand out clearly. The artist used watercolor to capture every detail of the leaves and berries. The colors are soft but precise, making the plants look almost real. Next, look up watercolor to see how artists use this technique to create delicate, natural-looking images.
