Observations
These landscapes use richly layered, visibly painted surfaces with careful naturalistic detail, deep woodland shadows, and warm sunset illumination. Broad vistas, waterfalls, reflective water, monumental trees, and hazy distance create a grand, atmospheric wilderness style with strong light-dark modelling.
