About this work

This painting shows a woman lying on a couch, half-reclining with one arm bent behind her head. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, especially on her skin and the blue-green couch. The background is blurry, with muted colors that fade into the edges. The painting feels loose and quick, like it was done in one go. The colors are simple—mostly blues, whites, and earthy tones—but the way the paint sits on the canvas makes it look almost three-dimensional. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
