1785
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Lulworth is a 1785 by John Baverstock Knight, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a rocky coastline with steep cliffs and a narrow strip of water at the bottom. The artist used soft watercolors and faint pencil lines to suggest texture—rough edges on the cliffs, tiny details in the water. Light colors dominate, with hints of brown and gray for shadows. The drawing feels quick, like a first try at capturing the scene. The artist focused on shapes and light rather than perfect details. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
