About this work

This painting shows a woman lying on her side on a yellow cushion. She’s relaxed, her head resting on one hand, with green leaves and a dark background around her. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on her skin and the fabric, making the colors pop. The yellow cushion stands out against the green and dark tones, drawing your eye. The way the light hits her shoulder and arm gives it a soft, rounded look. If you like this style, look up impasto next—it’s the technique of thick paint that you can almost see in real life.
