蘇憲法（1948-），嘉義人，台灣西畫家。師承馬白水、李澤藩、劉文煒等大師，1992年師大美術系西畫組碩士畢業，曾獲中興文藝獎章油畫創作獎，作品受台北市立美術館、國立台灣美術館、高雄市立美術館等機構典藏。曾任師大美術系教授、系主任以及台灣國際水彩畫協會榮譽理事長。
十九世紀後，隨著人工色粉與管裝顏料技術的進步，水彩變得更為便利，經常被用來當作寫生媒材或大型作品的彩色預備稿。基於透明水彩輕亮與即時的特性，畫家往往利用此特性快速捕捉光影變化與外部色調。台灣最早於日治時期由石川欽一郎引進水彩寫生，影響當時學子甚鉅。其學生如倪蔣懷、李石樵、李澤藩、藍蔭鼎等人，日後更各領風騷，成為最具代表性的水彩畫家，持續推動水彩在台灣的發展，因此成為台灣美術教育的基礎。
此作品以活潑明快的色調表現草木扶疏、庭園繁茂之感。運用水彩透明清雅的特性，先以大面積的藍紫色與酪黃色打底，以設定光線基調；再逐層區分出樹叢與花草色塊，最後以中小筆勾畫深色枝幹和點景樹葉。在色調的運用上，畫家充分利用對比色做平衡，光影部分則運用黃色與藍紫色對比，此外，舒緩大面積的綠色，輔以零星的橘紅色塊，表現出生動有趣的色彩世界，呈現綠園小徑寧靜而生機無限的氛圍。（501字）

Su Hsien-Fa (1948-), born in Chiayi, is a prominent Taiwanese Western painter. He was mentored by masters such as Ma Bai-Shui, Li Ze-Fan and Liu Wen-Wei. In 1992, he graduated with a master's degree from the Western Painting Group of the Department of Fine Arts at National Taiwan Normal University. He was awarded the Zhongxing Literary and Art Medal for Oil Painting Creation, and his works have been collected by institutions such as the Taipei Fine Arts Museum, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, and the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts. He has served as a professor and department head in the Department of Fine Arts at the National Taiwan Normal University, and as honorary chairman of the Taiwan International Watercolor Society.

In the 19th century, with the development of artificial color powder and tube paint technology, watercolors became more convenient and were often used for sketching outdoors or as color sketches for larger works. Due to the light and instant characteristics of transparent watercolors, artists often use this medium to quickly capture changes in light and shadow and external hues. In Taiwan, watercolor sketching was first introduced during the period of Japanese rule by Ishikawa Kinichiro, who greatly influenced students at that time. His students, such as Ni Jiang-Huai, Li Shi-Qiao, Li Ze-Fan and Lan Yin-Ding, later became the most representative watercolor painters who continuously promoted the development of watercolor in Taiwan, thus laying the foundation for art education in Taiwan.

This work uses vivid and bright tones to express the sense of lush vegetation and a flourishing garden. Utilizing the transparent and elegant characteristics of watercolor, the work first lays a foundation with large areas of blue-purple and creamy yellow to set the light tone. He then differentiates the color blocks of the trees and flowers layer by layer, and finally outlines the dark branches and dotted leaves with medium and small brushes. In terms of color application, the artist effectively uses contrasting colors for balance. The light and shadow areas use the contrast of yellow and blue-purple. In addition, the extensive green is complemented by sporadic blocks of orange-red, creating a vibrant and interesting world of color, depicting a tranquil yet boundless atmosphere of vitality in the green garden path.
