Norfolk beach scene

About this work

This sketch shows a sandy beach with a few people scattered around. On the left, a wooden structure leans against a wall, while near the water, three figures sit or crouch in bright clothing. In the background, the sea stretches out with a pale blue sky above, and a few more people stand or walk along the shore. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a sketchy, unfinished feel. The colors are simple—light blues, sandy browns, and bright reds and yellows for the clothing.
