This painting shows a person herding cows along a dirt path. The cows are white with dark patches, and they’re walking in a line. The sky above is partly cloudy with soft blues and whites, and the landscape around them is green and hilly. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a rough, sketchy feel. The artist didn’t focus on tiny details—just the big shapes and colors. Next, check out impasto to see how thick paint can create texture in art.
