About this work

This painting shows three bright yellow flowers with long green stems. Two of the flowers are trumpet-shaped, while one has flatter petals. The background is plain and light, so the colors of the flowers stand out clearly. The artist used watercolor to paint each petal and leaf with careful attention to detail. The stems are slightly curved, giving the flowers a natural look. Try looking up *watercolor* to see how artists use this technique to create soft, glowing effects.
