About this work

This drawing shows a quiet park by a lake. Tall trees line a dirt path, and a small wooden bench sits under one of them. In the distance, there’s a little open pavilion with a flag on top, right by the water’s edge. The artist used careful lines to show light and shadow on the trees and ground. The pavilion looks like a spot to rest or enjoy the view. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build up details with lines.
