A low horizon opens the sheet to weather and water. The lake is stitched from short, wavering strokes that stack cool greens and slate blues, while small white reserves flash as ripples and wind marks. In the foreground, boats and nets are stated in saturated teals, violets, and oranges, their angular silhouettes tilting the plane and pulling the eye across the surface. The village at left gathers into warm ochres and reds that counter the cool field, a temperature pivot that deepens space without heavy value jumps. Mid distance compresses into a gray green band, so the dark hill reads as a single mass that steadies the composition. Lines stay calligraphic and selective, toggling between description and notation. Watercolor blooms, backruns, and soft edges carry the atmosphere, giving the scene the speed and truth of on site looking.
