From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This watercolor shows five tall plants with spiky green leaves and delicate flowers. The flowers are pale purple and white, some fully open, others still in bud. The stems are thin and straight, standing against a plain light background. The artist paid close attention to how light hits the petals and leaves, making them look almost real. The way the colors blend softly suggests a careful hand. Next, check out how artists use *watercolor* to create depth and light.
