About this work

This painting shows two tall, gray columns with a small boat and three tiny figures in the middle. Above them, the sky is dark with a few gold letters written in a curved script. The edges look rough, almost like the paint was scraped or brushed on fast. The gold letters at the top are stamped, not painted by hand. The colors are mostly muted except for the bright gold and the dark sky. Want to learn more? Check out gouache.
