About this work

This painting shows a rough, watercolor scene of a small village by a river. The buildings are simple, with slanted roofs and patchy walls. The sky is pale and blurry, while the water below is dark green with quick, uneven strokes. Trees and hills in the background are barely sketched in, leaving lots of white space. The brushwork looks loose and quick, almost like a sketch. The colors are muted, with earthy browns and soft blues dominating the scene. If you like this style, look up impasto.
