This photo shows a small, dimly lit room with green walls and wooden floors. A little girl stands by an open window, looking outside. The window lets in light that shows a garden with a few plants. Nearby, a wooden cabinet holds dishes and jars. On the floor, there’s a white cloth and some tools. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the scene a rough, lived-in feel. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost see the strokes. Try looking up *impasto* next to see how artists use thick paint.
