This painting shows a simple red outline of a square building with a flat roof. Inside, there’s a small black triangle on the floor and a few thin black lines scattered around—like a quick sketch of a corner. The lines are uneven, almost like they were drawn fast or by hand. The red outline stands out against a plain white background, making the shapes feel bold. The artist used gouache, a water-based paint that’s opaque and often used for bright, flat colors. Next, look up gouache to see how artists use this paint for everything from sketches to bold designs.
