This sketch shows a long, flat landscape with a winding road cutting through it. On the left, rough trees and bushes line the path, while on the right, a distant building sits near a body of water. The lines are light and quick, almost like a quick note of what the artist saw. The drawing feels loose and fast, like it was made on the spot. The artist didn’t focus on details but instead captured the general mood of the place. If you like this style, look up *cross-hatching* next.
