This painting shows a dark, thickly painted surface with a mix of deep greens, browns, and a hint of gold near the top edge. The brushstrokes are heavy, almost like clumps of paint. In the top right corner, the name "Bartok" is written in green paint, followed by a year. The paint looks layered and uneven, giving it a rough texture. This style is called impasto, where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the brushstrokes. Look up impasto to see more examples of this bold painting technique.
