This page shows two tall plants with long, narrow leaves. One has small purple berries at the top, while the other has fluffy white flower clusters. The background is plain light green, and the plants stand straight against it. The artist focused on small details like the veins in the leaves and the tiny hairs on the stems. This kind of careful drawing was often used in old books to study plants. Look up watercolor to see how artists use layers of thin paint to build up colors.
