This painting looks like a collage of different shapes and colors. You see four big squares with bold colors—red, yellow, blue, and a light beige. Each square has faint pencil sketches of lighthouses or buildings. Circles and lines are drawn lightly across the paper, like a sketch half-finished. The artist cut and pasted painted paper, then added watercolor and pencil. The colors pop against the white background, making it feel like a puzzle. Try looking up watercolor, glazing next to see how artists build up colors like this.
