This painting shows a single, empty armchair in a pale, soft color. The chair is light beige, almost fading into the background, with a simple cushion and wooden legs. The whole scene looks quiet and a little blurry, like it’s seen from far away. The artist used a watery, see-through paint called gouache, which lets the white paper show through. This makes the chair feel light and almost floating. Next, check out gouache to see how other artists use this slippery, translucent paint.
