This drawing shows five simple cubes floating in space. Three are black, two are white, and they’re all outlined in faint pencil lines. The background is a light tan paper, and the whole thing looks like a sketch with just a little color. The title is handwritten in the corner as *"The primaries"*—likely a nod to the three black cubes (maybe standing in for black, white, and gray). The artist signed it "Alejandro Puente 1967." Next, check out gouache to see how this water-based paint works differently from watercolor.
