About this work

This painting shows two men walking side by side, arms around each other’s shoulders. They’re dressed in dark suits and hats, with one holding a cane. The background is a messy mix of colors—blues, reds, and blacks—like a busy, smudged city at night. The ground is a bold red with black streaks, making the men look like they’re floating. The artist used layers of lacquer, watercolor, and varnish to create this rough, textured look. The colors feel thick and almost wet in spots, giving it an uneven, handmade feel. Check out watercolor, glazing to see how artists build up color like this.
