This painting shows a tangled mess of thin, crumpled metal wire stretched over a rough, textured surface. The wires form sharp zigzags and loops, creating a web-like pattern that covers most of the paper. In the center, a dark, irregular shape peeks through the wires, like something half-hidden. The wires look real but are actually cut-and-pasted printed paper, glued down with watercolor washes. The texture of the background suggests paper or fabric, giving it a worn, uneven feel. Check out watercolor, glazing to see how artists build up layers of color like this.
