About this work

This painting shows a single, dense tree against a flat, pale background. The branches spread wide, filling most of the space, while the ground below is a dark, solid line. The tree’s leaves are made of tiny black marks—almost like dots or scratches—giving it a rough, textured look. The artist used cut-and-pasted paper, charcoal, and ink to build up the tree’s shape. The way the branches overlap creates a sense of depth, even though the rest of the scene is simple. Look up gouache to see how artists use this paint to create both solid colors and soft edges.
