This page shows three bright flowers painted in watercolor. One is yellow with layered petals. Another is a deep orange with a dark center. The third is pale white with soft edges. Each flower has green leaves and thin stems. The flowers are drawn very carefully, almost like a science book. The colors are simple but clean. The artist focused on how each flower looks up close. If you like this style, check out watercolor to see how artists use layers of paint.
