About this work

This painting shows a simple wooden chair holding a stack of books. A black lamp with a wire cord sits on top, and the whole scene is set against a pale background. The colors are mostly pink, black, and gray, with loose, brushy strokes. The chair looks rickety, like it might tip over. The books are stacked unevenly, and the lamp’s cord trails down one side. Look up watercolor to see how artists use thin washes of paint to create soft, blended colors.
