Van Gogh thought the landscape around Auvers-sur-Oise (FR) was beautiful. There were still old farms with thatched roofs, which made the countryside very picturesque.
Here he drew thatched houses with wavelike outlines. He first made an underdrawing in pencil. While painting, he did not follow that drawing very precisely. In some places, you can still see the pencil lines. He used light blue watercolour to fill in the sky and sweeping brushstrokes of thinned oil paint for the rest of the scene.
