This drawing shows a quiet river scene with trees on both sides. A small church sits on a hill in the distance. A few people and horses are walking near the water’s edge. The sky is light, and the whole scene looks calm. The artist used soft watercolors to blend colors together. This makes the scene feel peaceful and natural. Next, look up Romanticism to see how this style shaped nature scenes.
