The author describes the part of the backyard of the summer resort and the surrounding mountains in a realistic way. The composition is a bird’s-eye view. The view is taken vertically from the top to the bottom of the scenic area, and the scenery is concrete and subtle. The combination of turquoise coloring and light crimson rendering, the harmony of warm and cold colors, successfully created the quiet and quiet atmosphere of the villa. The brushwork is flexible and changeable. The rocks and trees are either chapped with dry brush, or baked and dyed with green. On the basis of traditional meticulous painting, the author skillfully absorbed the perspective of Europe and integrated the two together, so as to more scientifically and objectively show the physical structure of the building and at the same time strengthen the depth of the picture.
