This painting shows a row of colorful, weathered houses by the water. The roofs are red, yellow, and blue, while the walls are mostly gray and white. A calm body of water reflects the buildings, and a small boat sits on the shore. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured look. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the strokes. Next, check out *impasto* to see how other artists used this technique.
