Sunset with Blue Trees

Mui-Ling Teh

Sunset with Blue Trees

Completed 2004 age 18

I was inspired by the Japanese artist Hiroshi Senju, who tends to limit his colors in his paintings. Sometimes he paints an image where the background is the complimentary colors of the subject. His style is simple but at the same time intense, where the foreground stands out from the complimentary background.

Medium: Watercolors

This is a painting done in my sketchbook. The paper isn’t watercolor paper, but at least more durable than regular printing paper.

Thank you Janis Zroback for being my first buyer!

    i love the contrasting textures…very interesting how the blue trees look soo smooth across a horizontal stroke of the sun

  • Mui-Ling Teh replied

    Thanks Kenny. I painted the streaked background first, then used larger dabs of pigment as I was painting the trees overtop.

    I do not know if you have imitated or not this artist..
    The result is a fantastic harmony.. both for the senses and the Soul.
    Do you work with liquid water lolours.. or chinese inks.?
    I love the way water smoothes the leaves adn branches.. they are lively more that in reality.. for they have the pulse of your heart beating…
    I love so much japanese and chinese painting..!Specially Zen Art.

    It is indeed very difficult to achieve this angle where the viewer feels that he is looking far away and upward at the same time – the colors are outstanding too.
