Thanks for sharing! The transitions in the water and sky, stronger/darker/deeper color near the borders of the plants, and black outlines make me think of water coloring.

Btw, I think it's funny that a helpful user sharing traditional art is from the porn instance lol

Art is subjective 😉

They had the original of the "Dream of the Fisherman's wife" by Hokusai too... but I'd have felt a bit creepy taking a picture of it like this.
