This painting shows a mountain landscape with a stream and waterfall. The artist used graphite and white paint on brown paper to create it. The use of white paint on dark paper makes the waterfall stand out, which is interesting because it adds depth to the scene. You can learn more about this style by looking at the technique: gouache.
