£732.23

In this watercolor painting, I focused on a quiet corner of Gion Shirakawa in Kyoto, where the seasons are beginning to turn. I captured the scene with a sketch-like spontaneity, balancing a detailed depiction of the large glass windows reflecting the surrounding trees with soft watercolor washes for the lush foliage and stone wall. Through these fluid layers, I sought to convey the interplay of light and green reflections on that particular day. This piece represents my calm observation of Kyoto's traditional atmosphere blending naturally with its seasonal shifts.
