This painting shows a small coastal village nestled on a hillside. The houses have simple shapes with red and white roofs, and the land slopes down to a quiet body of water. The sky is pale with light, soft strokes, while the hills and buildings are painted in muted greens, browns, and blues. The brushwork is loose and quick, giving the scene a gentle, sketchy feel. It looks like the artist worked fast, capturing light and shadow without too many details. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
