This page shows six different plants with tall stems and clusters of small flowers. Some flowers are purple, others look like bees or insects. The leaves are long and narrow, and the background is plain light green. The artist labeled these plants with scientific names, mixing real and made-up ones. The flowers look very detailed, with soft colors and careful lines. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists use layers of thin paint to build up colors.
