About this work

This painting looks like a quick, messy sketch of trees and bushes. The brushstrokes are loose and wavy, mixing greens, blues, and a few reds. Some spots are barely there—just faint pencil lines—while others are thick with watercolor. The artist didn’t try to make it perfect. Instead, they captured the rough shape of plants, with some branches twisting into each other. It feels like they were working fast, almost like a doodle. If you like this style, look up Impressionism next.
