This painting shows a snowy riverside scene with bare trees lining a path. A few simple buildings—some red, some beige—sit near the water’s edge. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving it a rough, sketchy feel. Snow covers the ground and rooftops, but the trees stand dark against the pale sky. The artist used thick paint in some spots, making the colors pop slightly. The way light hits the buildings and snow creates soft shadows. Check out impasto for how artists use thick paint like this.
