Untitled is a 2004 watercolor by Rebecca Bird, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a bright yellow bird with green wings and a few blue feathers on its tail. Its feathers are loose and messy, like it’s just been ruffled by wind. The background is plain white, so all your eyes go to the bird. The artist used watercolor, which lets colors blend softly. The brushstrokes look quick and loose, almost like a sketch. Look up watercolor to see how artists use this slippery, see-through paint.
