This drawing shows a quiet hillside dotted with small houses and a few windmills. The ground is rocky, with a fence running along the bottom edge. Two cows graze near the fence, while a pale sky looms above, almost erasing the horizon. The artist used soft, light strokes to sketch the scene, making it look peaceful and a little distant. The windmills stand out against the flat roofs of the houses. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
