This small painting shows a dark ship in choppy water. The sky is light and patchy, with a few pale clouds. The waves look rough, and the colors are mostly muted—gray, brown, and a little blue. The ship is the only clear shape, standing out against the messy background. The paint looks thin and worn, like it’s been handled a lot. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
