This print shows a tall, snow-capped mountain rising behind a forested hill. A winding path cuts through the trees, leading toward a rocky waterfall in the center. The sky is pale with soft clouds, and the colors are mostly green, blue, and white. Notice how the artist used tiny lines to build up shadows on the rocks and trees—this helps create depth without dark colors. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to make shadows.
