Abstract Mixed Media Artwork on Paper

This item is an abstract art piece executed on paper, likely from a sketchbook or art pad, given its visible binding edge at the bottom. The artwork exhibits a vibrant, polychromatic palette applied in distinct, non-representational geometric and organic shapes. The primary mediums employed appear to be watercolor for broad color washes and crayons for texture and outlining, as suggested by the prompt keywords. Colors present prominently include bright yellow, orange, fuchsia/hot pink, and various shades of grey and black. Notably, there are areas where black crayon or charcoal has been layered over lighter watercolor washes, creating a textured, almost cross-hatched effect, particularly visible in the grey and black sections. Some areas, like the hot pink, show the distinct texture of crayon strokes and the tooth of the paper beneath. The white border at the bottom edge suggests it may have been torn from a pad or is part of a mounted work. There are no visible artist's signatures, dates, or manufacturer's marks. The style is distinctly abstract, with bold, non-naturalistic color blocking and a dynamic composition that lacks a discernible focal point or narrative. The paper exhibits some slight buckling or unevenness, typical for watercolor work that has not been stretched. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious tears or significant stains, though the textural qualities of the crayon suggest it is susceptible to smudging. The abstract nature and the combination of watercolor and crayon suggest a contemporary origin, possibly from the mid to late 20th century or early 21st century, aligning with modern abstract art movements.
