About this work

This page shows three plants drawn in watercolor. Each plant has thin stems with small leaves and clusters of flowers. The flowers are yellow or white, and the background is plain and light. The artist focused on each plant’s details—like the shape of the leaves and how the flowers grow. This kind of drawing was often used to study and record plants. Next, check out the technique: watercolor to see how artists use thin layers of paint to make colors look soft.
