This painting shows a busy dock with old wooden boats stacked high. The colors are mostly browns, reds, and greens, and the brushstrokes look thick and rough. A small tree sits on the left, and the water is a muddy green at the bottom. The boats are piled unevenly, like they’re waiting to be used or fixed. The paint is applied in big, visible strokes, giving it a textured look. Check out impasto next to see how this technique works.
