About this work

This page shows seven small flowers with bright colors—deep red, yellow, and purple—each with five petals and yellow centers. The leaves are green and simple, arranged neatly around the stems. The background is plain, letting the flowers stand out. These flowers are all the same type but drawn in different colors, likely to show how they can look in nature. The artist used watercolor, which lets colors blend softly. Look up watercolor to see how artists mix paint and water for smooth effects.
