This painting shows a group of people gathered near tents on a grassy, open field. The sky is bright with fluffy clouds, and a red flag with a white cross waves in the breeze. Some folks are walking, others stand in small groups, and a dog roams nearby. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured look. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost see the strokes. Check out *impasto* to see how artists use paint like this.
