This painting shows a rough, textured landscape with a stormy sky. The clouds are thick and dark, almost swirling, while the ground below looks uneven with patches of brown and green. A small building or structure sits in the lower right, half-hidden by the storm. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a raw, almost unfinished feel. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can see the texture. Next, look up impasto to see how other artists used this technique.
