About this work

This print shows two people by the water. One stands in a bright pink robe with bold patterns, holding a long black stick. The other sits on the shore, dressed in a dark, simple outfit. The background has quick, sketchy lines for trees and waves. The colors pop against the pale paper—pinks, greens, and blues stand out. The artist used loose brushstrokes for movement, especially in the water and foliage. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
