This painting shows five different plants with green leaves and small flowers. Some flowers are white, some pink, and others yellow. The plants have long stems with roots drawn carefully at the bottom. Each plant has three-leaf clusters, except one with four-petal flowers. The artist focused on showing each plant’s details, like how the leaves grow and how the flowers attach. It looks like a guide for identifying plants. Next, look up watercolor to see how artists use this technique to make precise, colorful paintings.
