Rocky Promontory with Castle is a 1850 by Augustus Wall Callcott, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a rocky coastline with jagged cliffs and a small castle on a hill. The waves crash against the shore, and a ship sails near the shore. The lines are light and sketchy, with some areas filled in with shading. The artist used a simple, loose style to capture the scene quickly. This drawing looks like it was made outdoors, with quick strokes to get the shapes right. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build up shading with lines.
