Drawing of St. Cloud is a 16 by William Callow, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a quiet row of tall trees lining a path. The branches twist and spread out, some bare, others with a few leaves. In the distance, a fence and a few buildings peek through the trees. The artist focused on the play of light and shadow on the bark and leaves. The lines are loose but careful, almost like quick notes. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
