Roomalaisia raunioita, harjoitelma

About this work

This painting shows old stone arches and crumbling walls under a bright blue sky. The bricks are red and brown, with patches of green moss clinging to the top. Through the arches, you can see more greenery and a hint of a distant view. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving it a rough, sketchy feel. The painting focuses on ruins, but the artist didn’t smooth out the details. Instead, they left some areas rough and others slightly blurred, almost like a quick study. If you like this style, look up *impasto* next.
