About this work

This painting shows three tall flowers with bright colors. On the left is a deep pink bloom with soft white stripes, its leaves long and pointed. In the center, a purple flower with a fuzzy top stands out against a green stem. To the right, another purple flower has a darker hue and smaller buds along its stem. The flowers are drawn with careful attention to detail, almost like a scientist’s notes. The artist used watercolor to mix soft shades and sharp highlights. Look up watercolor to see how artists create depth with just paint and paper.
