About this work

This sketch shows two women sitting on the floor in a dim room. One woman leans forward, reaching out. The other sits with her legs tucked in. Behind them, a wall holds yellow and red cloths hanging on lines. The colors are mostly browns, grays, and muted reds. The artist used quick, sketchy lines and soft watercolor washes. The scene looks busy but loose, like a fast sketch. Want to see more? Check out watercolor, glazing.
