About this work

This is a grid of 24 small framed pictures on a white wall. Each one shows tiny, simple scenes: a house with a red roof, a tree with bare branches, a leaf, a bird in flight, or just a few lines for a tree. Some are colored with soft blues, greens, and pinks. Others are mostly black and white. A few look like they’re just sketches. One detail stands out: the mix of materials. Some pieces have real leaves glued on, while others use colored pencils or watery paint. The artist clearly likes playing with different ways to make marks. Next, check out watercolor, glazing to see how artists build up colors like this.
