About this work

This painting shows a quiet street scene with a few simple buildings. The walls are warm yellows and oranges, and there’s a big tree casting shade over the ground. A few people are scattered around—one sits on a bench, another stands near a doorway, and a child plays in the dirt. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving it a rough, sketchy look. The artist used thick paint in some spots, which makes the colors pop. The light feels soft, like it’s filtering through the leaves. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
