lasimaalausluonnos, maisema is a work by Salomo Wuorio, held at Finnish Heritage Agency.
This drawing shows a grid of windows framed by trees. The top part looks like a wall with small panes, each showing a green tree outside. The bottom part has two wider windows with bright yellow-green leaves and twisted branches. The lines are simple but clean, with no shading. The artist used flat colors and bold outlines. The trees repeat in every window, like a pattern. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists build depth with lines.
Salomo Wuorio spent his days hunched over sketches of glass windows, turning paint into light before the glass even left the workshop.
