About this work

This painting shows a simple shape on a light background. The shape looks like a rough, uneven rectangle with a curved top and a small cut-out on one side. The lines are thick and dark brown, almost like ink, with some wobbly edges. The paper looks smooth and slightly shiny, like it’s been rubbed down. The artist used a flat, matte color that doesn’t hide the texture underneath. Next, check out how gouache works—it’s a paint that’s thicker than watercolor but still lets the paper show through.
