About this work

This photo shows a quiet lake surrounded by trees. The water is calm, with no ripples. On the far shore, bushes and trees grow thickly. The whole scene looks like it was taken in soft light. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, almost like the artist scraped paint on. It gives the photo a rough, handmade feel. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
