He cherry picked a fairly simple composition by Sargent. If he posted pic related with the same caption I doubt people would believe him. Watercolor is a strange medium though, it’s almost like any good or great watercolor can and will look like the best watercolors. It’s a target that either gets hit or doesn’t, unlike other mediums you can use for representational art. Probably why Sargent succeeded with it, you have to be divorced from any notion of style since the mediums look is its only discernible style, the rest is raw technique.
