This painting shows five men on a basketball court. The court is empty except for them, and the walls around it are plain. One man stands near the hoop, watching the others play. The building behind the court has a flat roof and a fence with signs on it. The numbers on the court are faded, and the players are dressed simply in shirts and pants. The colors are muted, with soft whites and grays. Next, look up gouache to see how this paint works.
