HOCKNEY PT.2 - SKETCHBOOK WORK

David Hockney
Sketchbook Work

Some more inspiration for my own sketchbook. I like these quick observations Hockney made as much as the finished pieces because they really get a sense of the place itself, before it gets filtered through his brain and altered. He fills the pages really well also and his use of paint allows him to be both bold and detailed at once (important when observing nature)

I think this work is really great, it's so expressive and the lines are really bold. An effect that can be quite hard to achieve through etching. I love the way he fills the page right to the edges.
The reason i've also put them on here though, is that they remind me of the sort of work you might get in a sketchbook - capturing a moment or thing of interest

PLANT FINDING

I found these drawings on a blog and thought they were a good example of simple and clear plant sketches . . .
