This sketch shows a wall with two framed paintings and a fancy decorative border above them. The border has swirls, faces, and a green oval portrait. Below the border, the wall is painted a deep red, and the two framed pictures hang side by side. One picture looks like a landscape with trees and mountains, while the other shows people in a forest. The names of famous artists like Paolo Veronese and Titian are written in the border, but this isn’t their real work—it’s a design plan. The whole thing is drawn in watercolor, giving it a soft, painted look. Next, check out watercolor to see how artists use this technique.
