This sketch shows a single, leafless tree standing in a snowy field. The branches are jagged and broken, with some pieces lying on the ground. In the background, faint outlines of a fence and distant hills appear, but they’re barely there. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show the tree’s rough shape. The snow looks like it was added in light, smudged strokes, almost like a quick note. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
