This sketch shows a simple stone church interior. The arched ceiling has visible wooden beams, and the walls are rough and plain. In front of the building sits a large stone basin on a pedestal, with a few scattered boards on the ground. The artist used quick, light lines to capture the textures—wood, stone, and shadows. This sketch feels like a quick note from a traveler, not a polished work. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
