This painting shows a woman in a dark dress and white headscarf walking beside two goats. Behind her are simple houses with thatched roofs, and a church tower rises in the distance. The sky is bright with fluffy clouds, while the ground has patches of green and yellow. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured look—like you could almost feel the roughness of the paint. This style is called *impasto*. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint for dramatic effects.
