About this work

This painting shows a small, loose cluster of squares in red, blue, and white. The shapes are uneven, some blending into each other. The background is a plain, pale yellow paper. The colors look like they were applied with quick, light strokes—almost like splashes. The edges of the squares aren’t sharp, giving it a soft, sketchy feel. Try looking up *watercolor* to see how artists use thin layers of paint like this.
