This quick drawing captures the energy of this hillside image in dynamic, sweeping lines. The drawing is started with searching gestural lines and developed with exhuberant hatching that builds up tones in a painterly way. While the drawing does not precisely portray geometry or detail, it captures the forms in light and shadow.
