About this work

This painting shows a small coastal village with crumbling white buildings on a hillside. In the foreground, a few boats sit on dry land or in shallow water, their red and blue bottoms bright against the earthy tones. The brushstrokes are thick and loose, giving the scene a rough, textured look. The artist used bold colors—deep reds, blues, and yellows—to stand out against the muted hillside. The boats and buildings feel slightly unfinished, like they were painted quickly while the artist was outside. Next, check out impasto to see how thick paint layers create texture in art.
