The other person's hand, also in a black glove, is covered in blue and green paint residue as they guide or hold the artwork in place. In the blurred background, other spray cans and a sign are visible under warm, out-of-focus lighting.
A person in a blue denim shirt is seen from the side, drawing with a marker on a large white board outdoors next to a tree.
