About this work

This sketch shows a simple outdoor scene with two trees framing a white building. The walls are plain, and the windows have dark shutters. Under the trees, there are tables with red and blue tablecloths, paired with wooden chairs. The brushstrokes are quick and loose, giving it a rough, unfinished look. The artist used bold colors—reds, blues, and earthy browns—contrasting with the white walls. It feels like a quick snapshot of a moment, not a polished work. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.

Iliakis Kostas

Kostas Iliakis shaped metal into unflinching human figures, chiseling sharp planes and quiet volumes from bronze and steel.
