About this work

This painting shows a table with bright red peppers, a few plump apples, and a green cucumber. Behind them sits a dark bottle with a red label and a couple of jars on a wooden shelf. The colors pop—deep reds, warm browns, and a soft blue cloth under the veggies. The artist paid close attention to how light hits the peppers, making them look almost three-dimensional. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, giving the painting texture. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
