Horstead Mill on the River Bure, Norfolk is a 1838 graphite by James Bulwer, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a quiet riverside scene with a windmill and a few small buildings. The water is calm, reflecting the soft colors of the sky and trees. On the left, trees turn warm yellow and orange, while the right side has darker green foliage. The artist used light, loose brushstrokes to create a dreamy atmosphere. The windmill’s sails and the distant hills add depth without too many details. Look up watercolor, glazing to see how artists build up color like this.
