Study of Houses

About this work

This quick sketch shows two simple houses drawn in light pencil. The lines are loose and rough, with no detail inside the buildings. Trees and a fence run along the bottom, but they’re barely more than scribbles. The page looks old, with a yellowish tint. The artist focused on shapes and light, not perfect lines. The houses lean slightly, as if seen from an angle. This sketch is part of a notebook, not a finished painting. Look up Cezanne, Paul to see how he turned simple sketches into bigger paintings.
