The Landscape chapter 13
In this series of thumbnail sketches, you can see that the artist was exploring three different compositional possibilities,
based on the same subject matter. Each of these sketches was drawn in a matter of minutes, which gives them a feeling of
great immediacy.
There are times when the thumbnail sketch will have more vitality and spontaneity than the final drawing because of it being
executed in a flash of inspiration.
The final work (an oil sketch) is shown below.
