This painting shows a winding dirt road cutting through a dry, hilly landscape. The path is light brown, fading into the distance where it meets a faint horizon. On either side, patches of green brush and yellowish hills stretch out, with a few small trees dotting the scene. The colors are soft and muted, giving the whole image a calm, earthy feel. The brushstrokes are thick in places, especially along the road and hills, making the textures pop. This technique is called *impasto*—when paint is laid on thick so you can almost feel the ridges. Next, check out the technique: impasto to see how artists use it to add depth.
