This painting shows two flowers side by side. On the left is a white flower with star-shaped petals and a long stem. To the right is a pink flower with six broad petals and a thick, dark stem. Both sit against a plain, light background. The white flower has smaller buds along its stem, while the pink one has a single bloom. The artist used soft colors and careful lines to make them look real. Check out the technique: watercolor to see how artists create depth with just paint and water.
