About this work

This painting shows rough, jagged cliffs made of thick, textured brushstrokes in earthy browns and grays. The sea below is choppy, with white waves crashing against the rocks. In the distance, a few small boats float on the water, and the sky is pale with faint, wispy clouds.

Look up impasto next to see how this thick paint technique works.
