This sketch shows a simple barn with a slanted roof, sitting on a grassy hill. The paint is light, with soft blues for the sky and pale greens for the bushes. The barn looks old, with a small door and a window that’s barely visible. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like a quick note rather than a finished picture. The colors fade into each other, giving it a dreamy, unfinished feel. If you like this style, look up Romanticism next.
