About this work

This is a single flower drawn in watercolor, standing alone against a plain light background. The flower has six white petals with soft green tips and a bright yellow center. Two long, narrow leaves grow from the base, pointing downward. The artist focused on the flower’s delicate details, like the tiny veins in the petals. The page looks like it’s from an old book, with a faded edge and a small number in the corner. If you like this style, check out the technique: watercolor.
