This painting shows a quiet village scene with two small buildings. One has a white wall and a dark roof, while the other looks older with wooden planks. A tree with green leaves grows in front, and two small figures walk on a dirt path. The brushstrokes are loose, giving it a rough, sketchy feel. The artist used thick paint in some spots, making the colors pop more. This technique is called impasto, where paint is laid on heavily. Check out impasto to see how artists use texture in their work.
