Untitled is a 2004 graphite by Susan Turcot, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a group of people working outside in a field. Some are bending over, digging or handling bundles of roots or plants. Others stand around, watching or talking. The scene looks rough—dry grass and dirt fill the ground, and the people wear simple clothes. Notice how the artist used tiny, repeated lines to build up shadows and textures. It gives the whole scene a scratchy, almost 3D feel. Try looking up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with pencil.
Susan Turcot is a Canadian artist primarily known for her drawings on paper. Her work often addresses environmental issues, including deforestation.
