About this work

This painting shows three women standing close together outdoors. The woman on the right wears a long red skirt with blue stripes and a white top, holding something in her right hand. The other two women are dressed in simpler white and dark clothing. Behind them, a green field and a small house can be seen. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. The colors are bright but not perfectly smooth, making it feel lively and a little rough. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.
