About this work

This painting shows two plants drawn in bright, flat colors. The top one has long green leaves and small yellow flowers in clusters. The bottom one has bold orange roses with green leaves and a bud that’s still closed. The artist focused on making each leaf and petal look precise and detailed. The colors stand out against the plain background, like a science book illustration. If you like this style, check out the technique: watercolor.
