This picture shows two tall plants with long green leaves. The stems hold clusters of small flowers in light purple and yellow. One plant’s roots are drawn sticking out of the ground. The colors are soft and the lines are neat. The roots look like they were dug up just to show. This kind of drawing was often used to study plants. Look up watercolor to see how artists mix colors like this.
