This painting shows a big bouquet of flowers in a vase. There are roses in soft pinks, hydrangeas in blue, and smaller blooms mixed in. The background is blurry, and the petals look thick and textured. The artist painted the flowers up close, making them look almost real. The colors are bright but not too sharp. Next, look up impasto to see how artists build up paint for this thick, textured look.
