About this work

This sketch shows a quick, loose view of a riverside scene. A small boat sits on the water, surrounded by tall reeds and wild plants. In the background, trees and a distant building peek through the sketchy lines. The artist used thin, fast strokes and light colors, almost like a quick note of what they saw. The water and plants are more detailed than the distant shapes, pulling your eye forward. Next, look up Bayes to see more of their work.
