This drawing shows a corner of a room with a slanted ceiling and a floor tiled in a grid. The walls meet at a sharp angle, and the floor tiles are arranged in neat rows. Below, there are nine smaller sketches of different floor tile patterns, each with slight color variations in yellow, orange, and green. The artist played with simple shapes and colors to create different effects. The lines are precise, and the colors are muted but noticeable. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build texture with lines.
