This painting looks like two tall trees with thin trunks and lots of branches. The branches spread out wide at the top, almost like a fan. The colors are mostly pale yellow and gray, with some dark ink lines showing the branches. The paper has a rough texture, and the paint looks wet in spots. It’s not a perfect picture—it’s more like a quick sketch with watercolor and ink. This style reminds you of how artists sometimes use watercolor, glazing to create soft, layered colors.
