This painting shows a wide, quiet landscape with a river cutting through green hills. The water is dark and still, while the land rises in soft, brushy strokes. Light clouds float over a pale sky, and the colors are mostly blues, greens, and muted yellows. The brushwork is loose and quick, like the artist was painting outdoors. The hills and trees blend into each other, making the scene feel natural and open. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
