This sketch is the ninety-ninth in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…
Day ninety-nine: I’ve been looking at 16th-century Dutch landscapes all day while working on my paper. The use of a tree to anchor the scenes perspective and direct the viewer’s eye into the distance was a typical device used by artists. Sometimes the foliage arches over the scene, creating a natural frame for the setting. This sketch fleshes out a similar composition. Practice for a more finished landscape drawing in the future.
