About this work

This painting shows three people walking along a rocky shore. The person on the left wears a long white coat, the middle person has a light dress and a dark hat, and the person on the right is wearing a light jacket, hat, and carries a dark object. The background has rough cliffs, a bit of grass, and a distant village. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured, almost sketchy look. The colors are simple but bold, with whites and darks standing out against the muted greens and blues. If you like this style, look into impasto.
