This painting shows a face crying, with one hand holding a dark object close to its mouth. The colors are bold—bright greens, pinks, and blues—and the background looks like swirling, uneven patches. The face is simple but expressive, with big, round eyes and a wide-open mouth. The tears and the way the hand covers the mouth suggest something painful is happening. The colors don’t blend smoothly; they’re flat and blocky, almost like patches of paint. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
