This painting shows a snowy forest with tall pine trees in the foreground. The ground is covered in white snow, but the trees have patches of green and brown. In the distance, there’s a mix of snow-covered hills and a frozen lake under a pale blue sky. The artist used thick brushstrokes to show the texture of the trees and snow. The colors feel cool and bright, with the blues and whites standing out against the greens. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
