About this work

This painting shows a lot of colors and shapes on a wooden board. It's interesting because the artist used many layers of paint. The artist, Howard Hodgkin, used a technique to build up the paint, which is called impasto, where paint is applied thickly to create a raised surface, and you can see the texture of the paint, and to learn more about this, look up the technique of impasto.
