About this work

This painting shows three bright oranges piled in a dark bowl on a table. Behind them is a brown wall with a red stripe and a white-framed mirror. The paint looks thick and rough, especially on the oranges and the wall. The brushstrokes are so heavy you can almost see the texture. This technique is called *impasto*—it makes the colors pop in a bold, almost 3D way. Next, check out impasto to see how other artists used thick paint.
