Landscape with a Tree-Lined Lane

About this work

This drawing shows a simple scene of a tree-lined path. The trees are drawn with quick, sketchy lines, some bare and some with scattered leaves. The ground is filled with loose, wavy strokes that look like dry grass or brush. The artist used lots of thin, overlapping lines to build up the shapes—almost like a network of tiny strokes. It’s not polished; it feels fast and a little rough. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists use layers of lines to create depth.
