This painting shows a woman wearing a bright red hat tilted to one side. Her face is turned slightly away, with a neutral expression and a hint of a smile. The background is dark and plain, so the focus stays on her. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on her hat and collar. This makes the colors pop and gives the painting a rough, almost handmade feel. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
