This photo shows two people walking cows across a wide, open field. The sky is soft and pale, with a faint glow near the horizon. The cows are brown and white, moving in a line, while the people hold sticks and look ahead. The brushy, blurred look makes the scene feel quick and alive, like a snapshot of daily life. The artist used thick paint to create this effect—it’s called impasto. Next, look up *impasto* to see how artists build texture with paint.
