This painting shows a close-up of an older person’s face. The skin looks rough and wrinkled, with shadows in the creases. The hair is dark and messy, and the eyes are half-lidded, giving a tired look. The background is plain and blurry, so the face stands out. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, almost like the paint was slapped on. This makes the face look raw and real, not smoothed out. If you like this style, check out *impasto* next.
