About this work

This painting looks like a rough, textured ocean scene. The brushstrokes are thick and messy, with dark blues and grays swirling together. Some lighter spots peek through, like foam or light hitting the waves. The paint is built up in heavy layers, almost like it was slapped on the canvas. That thick, bumpy style is called *impasto*—it makes the painting feel almost three-dimensional. Check out impasto to see how artists use paint like this.
