This painting shows a face surrounded by thick, tangled lines and brushstrokes. The colors are mostly browns and yellows, with patches of blue and white on the face. The hair and background look messy, almost like scribbles, while the face is simpler but still rough. The brushwork is very thick, almost like the paint was scraped on. This makes the surface look uneven and textured. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.
