This drawing shows a pomegranate split open. The seeds spill out in clusters, each one tiny and dotted. Leaves fan out around it, drawn with careful lines. The artist used ink and watercolor to make the colors soft and warm. The paper looks smooth, like it was made for careful work. Look up watercolor next to see how artists mix colors this way.
