About this work

This painting shows a woman standing with her arms crossed. She’s wearing a bright red skirt and a loose, yellowish top. Her hair is dark, and she has a calm expression. The background is a mix of warm browns and greens, with thick, uneven brushstrokes. The red skirt stands out against the softer colors around her. The way the paint is applied looks rough, almost like it was done quickly. Next, check out impasto, the technique used here to make paint stand out in thick layers.
