About this work

This sketch shows a simple, dark shape that looks like a window or opening in a wall. The edges are uneven, with loose pencil lines and smudges of gray and black. The paper around it is mostly blank, with a few faint strokes and a signature in the corner. The artist used cut-and-pasted bits of board to create the dark areas, then added charcoal and paint. It feels rough and quick, like a first draft. Next, check out the technique: gouache to see how this paint works.
