Misty Spring Chinese River Landscape

Vertical [classical Chinese landscape painting with soft pastel brushwork], using the compositional structure and pastel palette of the reference image as inspiration, rendered as a fully realized traditional scenery at [sunrise] in [spring]. A [misty riverside mountain valley] featuring layered blue-green peaks wrapped in low-hanging mountain mist, soft green grassy riverbanks, blooming pink trees, weeping willows, and distant thatched huts. A winding river with gentle ripples flows through the valley, carrying one covered wooden boat with a boatman standing on deck. On the left riverbank, exactly nine travelers and villagers are gathered in small conversational clusters. Luminous atmosphere, pale morning clouds, delicate ink and color brushwork, maintaining an airy, [peaceful, poetic, and idyllic] mood.
