About this work

This small painting shows a woman standing in a landscape. She’s nude, with pale skin and loose, flowing hair. Behind her is a tree with dark green leaves, and the ground around her is a mix of browns and greens. The water below is blue with a few rocks and lily pads. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like a sketch. The colors are simple but warm, with earthy tones dominating. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture.
