About this work

This sketch shows a long, narrow boat cutting through calm water. Behind it, a dense forest rises steeply from the shore, packed with tall, dark trees. The water has soft waves, and the sky is barely there—just a faint line at the top. The boat’s wake is the only sign of movement in an otherwise still scene. The artist used quick, loose strokes to suggest both the boat and the trees, making everything feel quick and rough. Next, look up delta to see how rivers shape these wild, watery landscapes.
