Huang Chun-pi was an acclaimed modern landscape painter. Under the influence of his father and his teacher Li Yao-ping, he studied ink and western art, thus both techniques could be observed in his paintings. His early admiration of works by Jian Jiang and Xia Gui, and observations from his travels, allow him to paint waterfalls and misty forest scenes. He learnt how to paint clouds through his observations in Huashan. During his travels, the changes of clouds and mists in the mountains are captured through observation and vividly depicted on the paintings.

This work was painted in 1965 with linear perspective and a structure adopted from Western art, creating a vibrant and realistic painting. Axe-cun strokes of Wang Meng and velvety dots were used to depict the surface of the rocks in the foreground. Buds bloom in the trees in the middle, enhancing the lusciousness of Spring. Light green was applied to enhance the mistiness. Fine brushstrokes sketched the movement of grass under the breeze of spring. A cottage behind the forest shows settlements in the countryside. Distance hills were depicted with cun dots, with reference to Fan Kuan. Yet a few dots construct a soaring mountain and rugged cliff. The use of techniques shows the artist's skills and his respect towards old masters. Mists linger in the distant mountains, creating an elusive mysterious scene. Saturated ink was used with swift and skillful brushwork, to enhance the humidity of the surroundings. Such techniques resemble that of Shi Tao. With dried brush for distant objects and saturated brush for nearer objects, further enhanced by linear perspective, the painting captures a moment in time of an animated tranquility.
