About this work

This sketch looks like a fast, messy drawing in blue and red. The lines are wobbly and uneven, almost like scribbles. There’s a big blue blob at the top and a red smear near the center. Below, faint shapes might be buildings or trees, but they’re hard to tell. The artist used a technique where ink is drawn on a smooth stone before pressing it onto paper. It’s not polished—it feels raw and quick. If you like this style, check out lithography.
