About this work

This painting shows two women sitting naked in a room. The one on the left has dark hair tied back and rests her head on her hand. The one on the right leans forward, her legs bent and crossed. Behind them, a wall holds three small framed pictures—one looks like a boat, another a tree, and the third a person’s face. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the figures a rough, textured look. The colors are mostly earthy—browns, greens, and yellows—with some red and blue accents. Check out impasto to see how thick paint can change a painting’s feel.
