Mission Santa Barbara, Looking South

About this work

This drawing shows a quiet hillside scene with a stone church tower in the center. The tower has a dome and small bell openings, with a cross on top. A dirt path winds past a tree and a small wooden building, leading toward distant hills and a faint ocean view. The artist used fine lines to show texture in the stone, grass, and clouds. This is an etching, which means the lines were scratched into metal before printing. Check out etching to see how artists create prints like this.
