Äiti tanssii pikkutyttönsä kanssa, luonnos

About this work

This painting shows three people in a dim room. A woman in a yellow blouse and blue skirt holds a small child’s hand. A man sits on a stool playing a red accordion. The walls are dark, and the light falls mostly on the woman and the child. The woman’s face looks calm, but her posture suggests she’s guiding the child. The brushstrokes are loose, making the scene feel quick and sketchy. Next, look up impasto to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
