About this work

This painting shows bold, dark green plants and leaves on a light background. The brushstrokes are thick and wavy, almost like quick sketches. Some leaves overlap others, and a few tiny flowers peek through the foliage. The artist used watercolor, letting the paint blend in some spots while keeping it sharp in others. The greens vary from deep to almost gray, giving the plants a lively but wild look. Check out how this artist used watercolor.
