About this work

This painting shows a bright, loose landscape with soft brushstrokes. A winding road cuts through green hills, leading to a distant yellow mountain. Pinkish clouds float above, and the ocean glows blue-green on the right side. The colors are warm and a little fuzzy, like a quick sketch. The artist used thick, textured paint in places, especially on the hills and sky. It looks like they slapped some strokes on instead of blending them smooth. Try looking up impasto to see how this technique works.
