La plajă is a 1931 by Ștefan Dimitrescu, depicting beach, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This sketch shows two figures on a beach. One person is sitting under an open umbrella, their body turned away. The other person is lying on the sand, facing them, with their legs bent and arms resting on their knees. The lines are loose and quick, with some shading on the sand and the person’s skin. The umbrella’s shape is simple, almost like a star with a handle. The artist used light pencil strokes to show shadows and texture, especially on the sand. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
