This painting shows two goats standing in a grassy, rocky area. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on the goats’ fur and the background. The colors are mostly earthy—greens, browns, and muted yellows—with some blue and gray in the distance. The artist used short, choppy strokes to create texture, especially on the goats’ coats. The background looks like a mix of trees and hills, but it’s painted loosely, almost like a sketch. Next, check out impasto to see how thick paint like this works.
