This painting shows a pale blue sky with soft, fluffy clouds. The brushstrokes are loose and light, blending into each other. The bottom edge hints at a faint horizon line, but it’s mostly just sky. The clouds look almost three-dimensional, with thicker paint in some spots. It’s like you could reach out and touch them. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
