About this work

This painting shows a simple hillside scene with a few rough houses. The buildings are painted in flat colors—tan, dark brown, and gray—with small windows and sloped roofs. A tall, thin tower with a pointed top rises in the background, and a dark green tree leans over the fence. The sky is a pale blue, and the ground looks rocky and uneven. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the scene a rough, sketchy feel. The colors are bold but not blended smoothly, making it look more like a quick study than a polished work. If you like this style, check out impasto to learn how artists use thick paint.
