This is the first mid-sized representative piece in the "Wonderland" series. The background is inspired by the mythical Penglai Wonderland, aiming to create an ethereal atmosphere that feels both real and dreamlike. The mountain forms are modeled after the distinct shapes of Taihu rocks, embracing their irregular beauty to introduce dynamic movement into the composition. The overall color palette leans toward a cool, pure aesthetic, embodying a sense of stillness. The painting primarily uses clam white and mineral green as its foundational tones, evoking a jade-like softness and clarity. To balance this, subtle warm hues are dispersed around the architecture, adding a touch of life to the vast snowy landscape of dusk. In terms of technique, this piece explores new approaches by minimizing the traditional cunfa (texture strokes) often seen in landscape painting. Instead, it employs delicate outlines with layered washes and glazing, enhancing the intended atmosphere. The visual language is kept as concise and refined as possible, striving for an ancient, timeless elegance in its form.
