This painting shows a single bird in mid-flight, its wings spread wide. The bird’s feathers are warm brown with lighter edges, and its tail fans out behind it. The background is a dark, mossy green, with a few thin branches poking up at the bottom. The bird’s pose looks a little stiff, like it’s caught in a moment of hesitation. The paint is thick in some spots, giving the feathers a textured look. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
