This sketch looks like a fast, messy drawing in watercolor and ink. The shapes are loose and wobbly—like a tree with twisted branches, but it’s hard to tell what’s what. Colors are mostly orange, gray, and a little blue, all blended together in a rough way. The lines are shaky, almost like they were drawn in one go. The paper has writing on it—maybe the artist’s notes or a date. It feels like a quick study, not a finished piece. The edges are uneven, as if torn from a notebook. If you like this style, check out Georg Baselitz for more of his abstract work.
