Rocks and Waterfall is a 1878 ink by Casimir Clayton Griswold, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows rough, jagged rocks in earthy browns and grays. A thin waterfall trickles down the center, cutting through the boulders. The edges of the paper are slightly uneven, and the whole scene looks drawn by hand with ink and light strokes of white. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show texture—no smooth shapes here. The waterfall is the only movement in the still scene, making it stand out. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
