New Drawings Added

After way too much time, I've finally added a handful of new sketchbook drawings to the Drawings > Moleskine Japanese Sketchbook section. I do my best to post my daily drawing to instagram, so be sure to follow me there! instagram.com/larahoke

One and half weeks in to 50 | 50

The Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica hosts an annual 50 | 50 show. Participating artists must complete 50 pieces in 50 days.  The pieces must be done on the provided 6 x 6" panels. I'm about a week and a half in to this project. I'm enjoying the challenge. Some pieces are clearly more successful than others, but because of the time sensitivity, I can't fixate on what is not perfect. This is a good exercise for me.

Below are the pieces I have completed to date. Each drawing will be sold for $95 through the Sanchez Art Center.

Work in Progress: Living Room Christmas Tree (Update 1)

It was another cold night in the Hoke/Kimberley household, but I still managed to get some work done.  Using a soft brush I laid out areas of light and dark (something I probably should have done right at the beginning.)  Objects are beginning to feel more solid and space more understandable. I've lost quite a bit of detail in the tree,  but that will come back in a later stage.
