About this work

This drawing shows a small boat on shallow water near a grassy shore. Three people are in it: one child standing at the bow, one person bending over mid-boat, and an older person sitting at the back, holding a pole. The background has trees and bushes, painted in soft greens and browns. The child’s pose—leaning forward with one hand on the boat—feels full of energy. The older person’s calm face contrasts with the movement around them. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
