About this work

This painting shows a snowy hillside with a winding path. A lone figure walks uphill, dressed in dark clothes. The ground is covered in patches of snow and green grass, and trees line the right side of the path. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the scene a rough, almost sketchy feel. It looks like the artist used short, choppy strokes to show the uneven snow and rocks. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
