This painting is a swirl of bright, uneven blobs in red, blue, green, and yellow. The colors push against each other, with some areas blending and others staying sharp. It looks like the paint was slapped on quickly, leaving brushstrokes visible. The artist used a soft, watery paint called gouache, which lets light show through. The colors feel messy but controlled, like a quick sketch that still holds its shape. Next, look up gouache to see how this technique works.
