About this work

This sketch shows a person with a shovel, bending over to chop wood. The background is blurry, with soft green and blue strokes. Two yellow birds sit on a fence in the distance. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and texture. The woodpile and fence add a simple, everyday scene. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
