This sketch shows two old wooden buildings side by side, one with a ladder leaning against it. The walls are rough, and the paint is faded. A small gate stands open in a low stone wall, leading to a dirt path with a few scattered leaves. The artist focused on simple shapes and textures—notice the way the wood grain and shadows are drawn. The sky is light, with just a few clouds, making the buildings stand out. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build up shading with lines.
