Pencil drawing "The Sweep" by Andrew Wyeth 1967

The incredible richness of this pencil drawing by Andrew Wyeth despite its basically sketchy nature. The fact that the long oar on the rock wall takes a definite shape from light end to blade in the shadows. A masterly drawing with rich tones that can teach any artist a lot about technique. How can a quick sketch be so brilliant? Well, talent helps . . .
