About this work

This sketch shows a simple building with a curved roof and two floors. The walls are a mix of pink and beige, with small windows that have shutters. Some windows have bright yellow curtains, and the roof looks like it’s made of wooden shingles. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a quick note rather than a finished drawing. The artist focused on shapes and colors more than details. The building’s style looks a bit like old Eastern European homes, but it’s drawn in a way that feels fresh and unpolished. If you like this sketchy style, check out Carol Szathmari for more work.
