A wash-led drawing with broad transparent colour masses and sparse disconnected ink accents: the washes establish form, and short ink fragments are placed only at selected structural turns and defining details. A Himalayan river racing through a deep gorge: milky turquoise water breaking white over boulders, steep dark walls clad in pines, mist rising from the spray and a pale snow peak at the far end of the gorge. Light: cool diffuse morning light with a pale gold glow behind the peak, the river in turquoise and cyan washes with reserved-paper foam, the walls in grey-green, slate and violet washes, mist as bare paper, a few ink fragments on the boulders and pine trunks; the river's curve leads to the peak. Palette of turquoise, slate, grey-green, violet and gold on cream paper; fresh, atmospheric, refined. Wide 16:9 frame. No people, animals, buildings other than the ones named, readable text, signs or logos; prayer flags carry only plain colour blocks, no script.
