This painting shows a simple but striking shape against a blue background. A brown, blob-like form floats near the top, with a small black circle and two white curves underneath it. Below, a wavy white line cuts across the blue, like a horizon or a wave. The artist cut out and layered parts of the painting to create depth. The colors are flat and bold, with no shading to soften the edges. Look up gouache next to see how this medium works.
