Charles Rennie Mackintosh painted *Yellow clover* in 1901 using watercolour. It’s a precise botanical study of a plant. These detailed plant drawings were once key for artists and designers to learn from. Mackintosh is better known as an architect. But here he shows his sharp eye for natural shapes. This work comes from the year he shifted fully to painting. Check out Mackintosh, Charles Rennie next.
