About this work

This painting shows a loose, watercolor sketch of fruit. You can see apples and pears in soft blues, greens, and pinks. Some grapes are tucked in the bottom left corner, barely sketched. The shapes are simple and wobbly, with light outlines and flat colors. The artist used quick, loose strokes—no tight details here. It feels like a sketch more than a finished work.
