This painting shows a mix of old and new buildings in a city. The foreground has small, weathered houses with slanted roofs, some with plants growing on them. Behind them, taller, blocky apartment buildings rise up, their windows lined in neat rows. A body of water runs along the bottom, with a few trees and a lone figure sitting near it. The artist used thick brushstrokes to create a sense of depth and texture, especially on the rooftops and walls. The colors are muted but warm, with earthy browns and greens standing out against the grayish buildings. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
