This painting is all black and white branches and leaves spread across a light background. The shapes look tangled, like vines climbing everywhere. Some spots are smudged or blurred, making the lines feel rough. The artist used paint in a way that looks almost like it was splattered or wiped. The black stands out sharply against the pale, uneven areas. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
