This painting shows a white building with a rounded archway and two blue domes on top. A tree with green leaves leans over the left side, and the ground is grassy with a dirt path. The sky is light blue with soft brushstrokes, and the building looks old but clean. The brushwork is thick in places, especially on the tree and sky, giving it a textured look. The colors are simple—whites, greens, and blues—but the light feels warm. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
