About this work

This drawing shows a single flower with long, thin stems. The petals are made of tiny dots, and the leaves are drawn with quick, looping lines. The background is plain white, so the flower stands out clearly. The dots aren’t just random—they’re packed tightly together to create the shape. This method is called stippling, and it takes patience to fill in every spot. Try looking up stippling to see how other artists use dots to make images.
