This painting shows a loose, sketchy scene of a rocky landscape under a pale sky. The brushstrokes are quick and wet-looking, with blues and greens dominating the hills and trees. A dark, shadowy shape in the center might be a building or trees, but it’s blurred. The artist used watercolor, letting the colors bleed into each other for a soft, unfinished look. The light is even, without strong shadows. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
