This painting shows a still life of a white cloth draped over a red tablecloth. On top sit a few onions, some with papery skins still on, and a blue cloth peeking out. The background is dark, almost black, making the bright colors stand out more. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, especially on the onions and cloth, giving it a textured look. The contrast between the dark background and the bright objects makes everything pop. Check out the impasto technique for more on how thick paint layers create texture.
