This painting shows a row of vertical charcoal lines on a light background. The lines are uneven, some thick and dark, others thin and faded. Three of them have the number "515" painted in white at the top. The artist used charcoal on a thin, see-through paper called acetate. The lines look rough, like they were drawn quickly or layered over time. Try looking up scumbling to see how artists create texture with soft, feathery strokes.
