About this work

This painting shows two old wooden ships tied up at a dock. The water is calm, reflecting the boats and a pale sky. One ship is painted red with a white hull, and the other is mostly white with a few red patches. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the scene a soft, dreamy look. The artist used thick paint in some spots, making the boats stand out against the flat background. This technique is called *impasto*—it’s like you could almost feel the texture if you touched it. Next, look up impasto to see how other artists used this bold brushwork.
