This print shows a tangled thicket of branches and leaves, all in black and white. The lines are rough and uneven, like quick sketches. Some areas are dark and heavy, while others fade into light. The artist used sharp, jagged strokes to create texture—almost like scratching into the surface. This style makes the woods feel wild and alive. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
