About this work

You see a small sheet of paper filled with quick pencil lines and soft watercolor washes—mostly grays, blues, and a touch of red. Tillim worked fast, letting the watercolor bleed into wet paper. The lines look like they were drawn in one sitting, almost like a sketch, but the colors feel deliberate. It’s the kind of work that doesn’t try to be perfect—just honest. If you like this loose, direct style, try looking up more about watercolor.
