About this work

This painting shows a simple white building with a slanted roof and three small windows. The walls are flat and clean, with no extra details. A set of wooden stairs leads up to the entrance, and the sky above is a pale blue. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the walls a textured look. The colors are mostly white, blue, and green, keeping it calm and quiet. Next, look up impasto to see how thick paint like this is used.
