About this work

You see a pale green octagon floating on white paper, its edges smudged with pencil. Tuttle drew this as a test for a larger sculpture—same shape, same color, but in cloth and wood. The watercolor looks almost accidental, like a breath on paper. That’s the point: he wanted art to feel light, not heavy. If you like how simple lines can surprise you, try the technique called *watercolor, glazing* next.
