George Chinnery’s drawing shows two houses behind a low stone wall. One has a balcony with plants. It sits above four arched windows. You can see every line. Chinnery used tiny marks to shade the stone wall. The plants on the balcony look soft. The rest is sharp and clear. This style feels like a diary page. Look at more of his work to see how he mixed detail with quick notes. Look up Chinnery, George.
