About this work

This painting shows a person sitting, holding a small object in their hands. They’re dressed in a loose orange shirt and greenish pants, with one foot crossed over the other. The background is a plain, warm yellow, and the brushstrokes look thick and rough. The face is painted with bold white and dark shapes, almost like a mask. The colors are flat and simple, with no deep shadows or gradations. Next, look up *impasto* to see how thick paint like this is used.
