16.5"x12" Loose pencil rhythms map a sleepy dock — boats, barrels, and the quiet geometry of a working morning. A lively graphite study that reads like a field sketch from the pier. Confident, economical marks establish the boats’ bulky silhouettes and the tiled foreground, while quick hatching defines reflections, figures, and shadow. Small details — stacked barrels, a coiled net, tiny human figures — give scale and narrative, turning what could be a purely formal exercise into a scene of everyday labor. The composition’s horizontal sweep and faint background architecture suggest a shallow depth of field, perfect for someone who loves pieces that feel immediate and unpretentious.
