Tukkinuotiolla is an unspecified by Pekka Halonen, held at Finnish National Gallery.
Three men in heavy coats and hats sit or stand in a snowy forest. The trees are bare, and the ground is covered in snow. One man holds a long pole, while another sits with his hands resting on his knees. The colors are mostly dark browns and grays, with patches of blue and white from the snow. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. This technique makes the scene feel rough and real, like you could reach in and touch the coats or the snow. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
