About this work

This is a blank notebook page with a few small, colorful triangles scattered across the center. The triangles are bright—red, blue, green, yellow—like bits of paper folded into shapes. The rest of the page is mostly empty, with just a few pencil marks on the left side. The triangles look like they were cut or torn out and stuck down. The paper itself is plain, with a slight yellow tint. It’s simple, but the colors stand out against the empty space. If you like this, check out gouache—it’s a paint that’s water-soluble but thicker than watercolor.
