Theodore Rousseau's Foliage












All the images above were taken from   THE  UNTAMED LANDSCAPE: THEODORE ROUSSEAU AND THE PATH TO BARBIZON, New York: Morgan Library and Museum, 2014

How do I depict the foliage outside my window?  (This is much more legible, but how did I get to this typeface?)  It's a problem so I looked at how Theodore Rousseau did it. He offers me a lot of options from washes to a series or bunches of single lines (not cross hatchings), dots, contour lines that enclose the outline of the bush or tree, to color.
