About this work

This image shows a grid of small artworks—some sketches, some bold colored prints. The sketches are loose, pencil-only drawings of a face from different angles. The colored prints use flat blocks of yellow, green, and brown against dark backgrounds. One print includes a simple color wheel. These works look like practice studies for a larger project. The artist tested shapes, colors, and angles to refine the final look. Next, check out lithography to see how this printmaking technique works.
