About this work

You see thin, wobbly lines in red, blue, green, and black scribbled across white paper. Gene Davis usually painted bold stripes on canvas, but here he used colored pencils instead. The lines look shaky—almost like he drew them fast, without planning. It feels more like a quick sketch than a finished work. If you like how the colors vibrate, look up stippling next. It’s a way to build up color with tiny dots instead of lines.
