This painting shows bold colors and simple shapes. On the left, two figures sit under a big tree with thick branches and bright red flowers. One figure is playing a flute. On the right, two more figures sit on the ground, relaxed and naked. The background is a bright yellow sky with a bird flying. The artist used woodcut lines for the black outlines, then added watercolor for the colors. The figures look more like shapes than realistic people. Look up watercolor to see how artists mix paint and water for this effect.
