About this work

This painting shows a quiet village nestled in rolling hills. The buildings are simple, with flat roofs and white walls, surrounded by dry, golden fields. The hills in the background are rough and uneven, with patches of green here and there. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the scene a handmade feel. The colors are mostly earthy—browns, yellows, and whites—that make the landscape look warm and sunlit. If you like this style, check out impasto to learn about how thick paint can create texture.
