This painting shows a close-up of swirling brushstrokes in earthy browns, blues, and whites. The colors blend unevenly, with thick patches of paint layered on top of each other. A signature in the bottom right corner reads "M. Cămăruț," and the edges of the frame are visible. The loose, textured strokes suggest the artist worked quickly. The painting feels rough and unfinished, almost like a sketch left to dry. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint layers create texture like this.
