This painting shows a quiet village scene with old, weathered buildings. The roofs are made of rusty metal, and the walls look like plain concrete or stone. A lone figure stands in the doorway of the middle building, wearing a light-colored shirt and dark pants. The ground is muddy, and a tree with dark green leaves leans over the buildings. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the walls a rough, uneven look. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the texture. Next, check out technique: impasto to see how artists use thick paint to create depth.
