I chose this watercolor painting because its simple but descriptive at the same time.  The waterfall is clearly painted just like the trees, river, sky, cliff, and splashing water. This watercolor painting is well structured and organized with different tonal values. It contains good use of contrast with the foreground and background, giving the middle ground a focal point.  The waterfall has excellent contrast because its white and helps it pop with the dark trees and desaturated purple sky in the background.
