Untitled is a 1990 watercolor by Luc Tuymans, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a simple watercolor portrait of an older man’s face. His skin is pale, his hair is gray, and his eyes are dark and serious. The background is just a plain white shape behind his head, like a cut-out. The artist used soft watercolor and pencil on paper that was glued to a board. It looks like the face was painted last, over the background. Check out watercolor, glazing to see how artists build up colors like this.
