This painting shows a flat, sandy beach with three small boats resting on the shore. The water is calm and stretches to a distant, hazy line where the land meets the sky. The colors are mostly yellows and browns, with a few patches of green near the water’s edge. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the scene a rough, textured look. The boats are simple shapes, almost like they were quickly sketched in. If you like this style, check out impasto for more on how thick paint creates texture.
