This painting shows two tall plants side by side. One has purple flowers and small green berries, while the other has bright red berries and similar leaves. The stems are thin and straight, and the leaves vary in shape but stay mostly green with some yellow edges. The artist used watercolor to capture every detail, blending colors smoothly. The plants look carefully studied, almost like a science drawing. Next, check out the technique: watercolor, glazing to see how layers of paint create depth.
