This painting shows a city street with buildings stacked close together. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, mixing dark blues, browns, and yellows. A few people stand near the buildings, but their faces are blurred. The sky is barely visible, just a thin white line at the top. The thick paint gives the scene a textured, almost rough look—like you could feel the strokes if you touched it. This technique is called *impasto*. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint to create texture.
