From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
This painting shows two tall plants with bright yellow and white flowers. One plant has three yellow blooms, while the other has small white flowers with yellow centers. Both have long green stems and leaves, and roots are drawn at the bottom. The artist paid close attention to tiny details like the veins in the leaves and the shape of the petals. The colors are soft and natural-looking, with a light background that makes the plants stand out. If you like this style, check out more watercolor techniques.
