This painting shows two tall, gray poles leaning in from the sides. Between them is a bright, open space with a small building and two blue figures standing close together. The sky is split into bold patches of red, blue, and yellow, with clouds that look like they’re floating between the poles. The colors feel sharp and flat, almost like cut-out shapes. The artist used watercolor, but it looks more like bold strokes than soft blending. If you like this style, look up watercolor, glazing next.
