About this work

This painting shows three tall buildings along a body of water. The colors are mostly brown, red, and blue, with rough brushstrokes. The water below reflects the buildings in a messy, swirling way. The buildings look old and weathered, with some windows open. The paint is thick in spots, giving it a textured look. Next, check out the technique: impasto to see how thick paint creates texture.
