About this work

This sketch shows a row of small wooden houses with grass growing on their roofs. The buildings sit on a grassy slope near a dirt path, and a few rocks and plants are scattered around. The sky above is light with some wispy clouds, and the whole scene looks quiet and simple. The roofs covered in grass are a practical way to keep houses warm in cold climates. This drawing was made by someone who paid close attention to everyday life. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
