About this work

This painting is a bright yellow square with a faint, cloudy white shape in the center. The edges blur into the background, making it hard to tell where the shape ends. The colors are soft and even, with no sharp lines or dark spots. The white shape looks like a ghostly form, almost like smoke or a shadow. The artist used many tiny marks to build up the colors, layering them slowly. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
