This painting shows two sailboats on a flat, misty sea. The boats are dark against a pale, fuzzy background. The water looks choppy, with quick brushstrokes that make it feel alive. The sky blends into the horizon, leaving little contrast. The boats’ sails are loosely drawn, almost like quick sketches. The colors are mostly muted, except for a few faint spots of blue and red scattered around. If you like this loose, sketchy style, look up impasto next.
