This painting shows a single magnolia flower with big white petals. The petals look soft and a little wrinkled. Dark green leaves stick out around it. The background is just a plain, light gray color. The artist used watercolor to make the petals look almost real. The brushstrokes are loose but still show the flower’s texture. Look up Ribarz, Rudolf to see more of his watercolor flowers.
