This sketch shows a rough, dark landscape with twisted trees and uneven ground. The colors are mostly browns and blacks, giving it a gritty, almost smudged look. Light fades in at the top, like a pale sky. The trees look tangled and wild, almost like they’re fighting for space. The way the artist used dark and light shades gives it a moody feel. If you like this style, check out Romanticism.
