About this work

This painting looks like a mix of torn paper and scribbles. Bright teal and yellow shapes float against a plain white background. Some pieces look like they’re crumpled or folded, while others have thin lines or dots scattered across them. A few small, dark spots and a splash of pink add extra texture. The artist used cut-and-pasted paper, then drew over it with colored pencils and pens. The way the pieces overlap gives it a messy, layered feel. Try looking up cross-hatching next to see how artists use lines to create texture.
