This painting shows a quiet river with soft, wavy water reflecting the sky. On one side, dark trees stand in clumps, their shapes blurry and smudged. The other side is lighter, with hills fading into a pale, misty background. The artist used a loose, almost sketchy style—like quick brushstrokes or pencil marks left behind. The whole scene feels dreamy, as if you’re seeing it from far away or through a light fog. Next, check out gouache to see how this watery, paint-like medium works.
