On the Road to Brummana is a 1939 watercolor by Moustafa Farroukh, depicting pinus pinea, held at Sursock Museum.
This watercolor painting shows a winding road leading up a hill, lined with trees. The trees are mostly pine, with some other types mixed in. The sky above is light, with some clouds. The colors are muted, with shades of green, brown, and gray. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The artist has used glazing to create a sense of depth and luminosity in the painting. The glazing technique involves applying multiple thin layers of transparent paint to achieve a deep, rich color.
