About this work

This drawing shows a quiet valley with rolling hills. A waterfall cuts through the center, spilling down rocky cliffs. The colors are mostly gray and white, giving it a soft, misty look. The artist used a simple technique to shade the hills and trees. It looks like they rubbed the pencil or brush lightly to create smooth tones. If you like this style, look up Romanticism next.
