This painting shows a quiet forest in winter. Tall, bare trees stand close together, their branches reaching across a snowy path. The ground is covered in white snow, and the trees are dusted with a light layer too. In the middle distance, a small figure walks, bundled up in dark clothes. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the snow a rough, almost grainy look. This makes the scene feel real and cold. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
