This painting shows a loose, sketchy curtain or drape in yellow and green tones. The lines are wobbly, like they were drawn fast with a mix of oils and pastels. The edges are uneven, and the background is a plain, light peach color. The artist scribbled their name and year—*Tom Levine 1988*—in the corner. It looks like they layered different materials to build up the texture, almost like scribbling with crayons and paint at the same time. Try looking up *impasto* next to see how artists use thick paint layers.
