About this work

This looks like a grid of graph paper with colored lines and shapes on top. The left side has a pink square with a white window and slanted gray lines inside. To the right, there’s a yellow zigzag line and blue dots scattered across the grid. Some black lines run straight down the middle, and red dots mark the edges of the paper. The paper itself has holes in the corners, like it was punched for a binder. The colors are bright but simple—pink, yellow, blue, and black. It doesn’t look like a traditional painting but more like a mix of sketches glued together. If you like this, check out cross-hatching next—it’s a drawing technique that uses lots of lines to create shading.
