This painting shows four sheets of paper stuck together at angles. The colors are mostly light brown and gray. You see lots of rough, shadowy cubes piled up in the middle. The edges are dark, and the paper looks textured. The cubes don’t look real—they’re drawn in a way that feels uneven. The artist used charcoal, which makes the lines look smudged and rough. Look up scumbling next to see how artists create similar textures.
