About this work

This painting shows three simple shapes stacked vertically. A large black circle sits in the middle, with two matching blue half-circles above it. Below the black circle, there’s a light blue shape that looks like a sideways "U" with a flat bottom. The colors are flat and bright—no shading or texture. The black circle feels heavy, while the blue shapes are light and clean. Want to know more about how artists use gouache?
