This painting shows a man with a serious expression. His face is half-lit, with shadows under his eyes and jaw. He wears a dark hat and a light collar peeking out. The background is blurry, with green and brown brushstrokes. The thick paint on his cheek gives his skin a textured look. It’s like the artist slapped on the colors rather than blending them smoothly. Next, check out impasto to see how other artists used thick paint like this.
