The light in my space has improved since November - January …. yay for a hint of spring and some indirect light in my space.
The top photo shows the setup, the first phase of the sketch, and the second phase of the sketch to prep for the painting.

Laura Bohon is an American figurative artist working at the intersection of classical technique and embodied perception. Through drawing and painting, she creates what she calls "a tactile archaeology of presence" and works that translate the quiet accumulation of sensory experience, memory, and research into a 2D visual form.
Trained in both contemporary and classical traditions, Laura combines rigorous observational practice with somatic awareness.
