This fan shows two women standing in a garden by a lake. One wears a light blue dress and holds a dog on a leash, while the other in a pink dress leans toward her, smiling. Trees line the water’s edge, and the sky glows soft yellow near the horizon. The edges of the fan are decorated with floral patterns and dark borders. The paint looks delicate, almost see-through in spots. Look up watercolor to see how artists use thin layers of paint to create light effects.
