This painting shows a quiet lake with a rocky shore in the foreground. Tall pine trees line the water’s edge, and a small island sits in the distance. The sky is pale with light brushstrokes, while the rocks and water have a muted, earthy tone. The artist used thick, visible strokes—especially on the sky and rocks—to create texture. This technique is called *impasto*. Look up impasto to see how other artists used it.
