I created this piece with graphite pencil on drawing paper in the weekly drawing course I participate in at Tucson’s Northwest Art Center. The subject was a figurine of an Asian woman carrying a basket of fish.

I’ve never really enjoyed drawing, so I decided to take the class to challenge myself. I’m pleased to say that the three hours I spend in this class each week fly right by, and I have made continued progress.

It measures 14”x17” and is sold unframed.
