About this work

This painting shows a single clean circle on a pale background. The circle has three faint lines: a thin black one in the middle, a gray one just outside it, and a bold red line on the outside edge. The colors are simple, and the shape feels precise but slightly uneven. The artist used pastel—a soft, chalky medium—to create these lines. The way the colors stack up makes the circle look almost three-dimensional, even though it’s flat. Next, check out pastel to see how artists use this tricky, dusty material.
