This painting shows an old wooden barn standing alone in a field. The barn looks weathered, with rough planks and a slanted roof. In the background, a few small houses sit under a cloudy, gray sky. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the scene a rough, almost handmade feel. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost see the strokes. Next, check out the *impasto* technique to see how artists use paint like this.
