This painting shows a small coastal town with white buildings and red roofs. In the foreground, several wooden boats sit on the shore, some tipped over. The background has a hilly landscape dotted with more buildings and greenery under a pale blue sky. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured look. The colors are simple but bright, with pops of red and blue standing out. Check out the technique called impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
