About this work

This painting shows a group of people sitting and standing outside under bright colors. Some are resting on blankets or cloths, while others hold baskets or stand near tents. The brushstrokes are thick, and the colors—reds, blues, and earthy tones—stand out against the green background. The way the paint is applied looks rough and textured, almost like it was slapped on quickly. This technique is called *impasto*. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint for bold effects.
