This painting shows three big rectangles stacked vertically. The top is a dark greenish-blue, the middle is a warm orange-red, and the bottom is a deep brown. Around them is a thin, pale pink border that looks like it’s fading. The colors blend softly at the edges, almost like they’re breathing. The brushstrokes are thick but smooth, with no sharp lines or details. Next, check out impasto to see how thick paint can change how a painting looks.
