About this work

The painting is a six-panel screen, divided into two halves. The left side depicts a mountainous landscape with a temple on a hill, surrounded by trees and a body of water. The right side shows a rocky coastline with a pagoda and a sailboat on the water. The painting features a range of colors, including shades of brown, gray, and green. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, with a focus on capturing the textures and forms of the natural world. The painting's use of negative space and subtle color palette creates a sense of calm and serenity. To learn more about the artist's use of technique, check out the work of Sesson Shukei.
