This painting shows three tall, slender stems holding pale yellow flowers with six petals and a bright orange center. The leaves are long and slightly curved, with a greenish tint. The background is plain and light-colored, keeping all focus on the flowers. The artist used watercolor to capture the delicate details of each petal and leaf. Notice how the colors fade gently—this is a sign of glazing, a technique where thin layers of paint build up slowly. Look up watercolor to see how artists create depth with just translucent layers.
