He pays no attention whatsoever to "technique" and applies paint with such simplicity that it seems naive, but the end product has the full emotional impact of the scene. He has thrown away everything except "looking" and "seeing," mainly his very sophisticated color sense, but underlying that simple brush strokes is fifty years of painting so he knows what the effect will be an goes right to it. The painting is brilliant.

When you first ride a motorcycle it feels scary, especially off road. Then after a year os so you master it and it feels like part of your body. Same with painting, or a musical instrument - you go beyond the mechanics of doing it.

Having watched David Hockney painting several times it suddenly dawned on me that he is painting as one would on an iPad. Hockney has extended the impressionist style in to the 21st century and is creating paintings in a iPad style but with paint on a canvas. Marvellous.

David Hockney teaches us about space in a picture. I have no words for what he does with perspective-but it’s important, and very dear to me. We are painters, not machines. And we can see with more than our eyes…There is reverence in his pictures. They make my heart sing.

Wonderful Hockney. We walk the dogs up this lane every morning during lockdown. X

I lived near Hockney when we both lived in Yorkshire. Not so many years he came back from Los Angeles to live for awhile back in Yorkshire and the local Yorkshire TV send a reporter to .interview him during a painting session he was working on in East Yorkshire. That particular day he was painting a tree in winter (no leaves) and on a blank canvas he started at the top painting the fine twigs and the reporter said he was taught at school to paint the trunk, then the boughs, branches and finally the twigs - as we all were. Hockney answered the reporter by saying that he looks at the subject and imprints the tree in his brain and then knows exactly where every brush stroke will be on the canvas. What a talent - sheer genius. There is a Van Gogh Gallery in Arles, near Marseilles, where there is not one painting by Van Gogh. Instead it is full of top world artists who were commissioned to paint in the Van Gogh style. Obviously Hockney was one of the chosen artists and his painting is outstanding. He painted the famous Van Gogh painting of the raffia chair. It looked almost like a Van Gogh painting, but you could tell it was painted by Hockney. Truly amazing man.

It was hypnotic watching him work.

Just magnificent ! A childlike directness with the skill of a master. I can’t help seeing Van Gogh here and yet Hockney does it his own way - maybe even better ? I’m lost for words as art like this speaks on another level.

@@johncastle8254 ; I feel that you miss the point with Hockney’s work - He can paint extremely well, as his earlier work shows. He’s adopted a style, in his later work, which is unique and misunderstood by many; its apparent amateur quality is a deliberate tactic designed to illustrate a directness of vision and painterly application. Van Gogh suffered exactly the same criticism as he was ahead of the canon of his times. Hockney is again breaking with our contemporary canon and will naturally be the subject of much ridicule. When Art creates a reaction, puts us on our back foot and makes us unsure it is truly avant-garde and not for all.

My art teacher said i had no talent and it was a waste of time my continuing with the course. How much more freedom do you want? What a gift he gave me!

why would creeps give a thumbs down?here is a pro, a world recognized artist at work. not even Picasso has any real footage of him completing a painting. sure there is a contrived, totally staged film of him drawing... but here's the real, sincere thing guys.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful, soothing, and inspiring peek into your process!

jeepers. what's not to love here? Hockney. a World Treasure. My heart fills and spills with gratitude as I watch in complete childlike wonder. it's not "how does he do that?" It's "why DON'T I do that?!" that urges me on for more. My appetite for Hockney savors every stroke. Thank you, Sir.

Fascinating, calming, inspirational and a lesson in looking. Intriguing that he painted his view from a ‘sideways’ viewpoint rather than straight on… I have admired David Hockney since I saw his early work at Salts Mill in the early 90s,& have watched the full film dozens of time. A legend.

The easier it looks, the harder it is, years of draughtmanship gives that confidence and skill.

This is just fabulous. Mr Hockney is inspirational. He is truly a national treasure, I so wish I could afford to have just one of his paintings hanging in my home I hope he is still painting for many years to come, he shows us a great slice of life. This is very moving.

Diana Watkins : It's not easy to open the groaning doorway to our life but to do so requires courage and in so doing vindicates our very existance as a human being. The very action to create is good in and of itself; whatever of what is produced, regardless of what others think, can only get better in the process. [So, quietly look back but be wary of seeking aproval; as you might get the dentists' approach - as varied as the cost of their mortgage and ultimately only reflecting their life state]

Awesome painting strong colors

I have always leaned upon This Artist (1982 - ) in my Dreamy World away from real-life in being an unknown lamenting and disembodied cry in my bewilderness xxx it is with great wonder that i learned his first name and saw The Artist in action a fewer misty moments ago ... and, lo and behold, he smokes, too 🤗 So good for me to have this awesome moment away from harsh realities to thank All Those for giving me a closer moment to an easy drift into an unknown feeling xxx

Having seen this in exhibition, it was a joy to see how it came to be.

he has a very gentle hand, his wrist really never moves, only his arm.

To everyone asking what type of paint 🎨 David is using in this video. I googled the painting and it is oil here is what Google said.... “Late November Tunnel, 2006” is an oil painting made on two canvases fused together. It's one of a series of studies Hockney has made of the same place at different times of the day and year. Here is link to info www.openculture.com/2012/07/watch_as_david_hockney_creates_late_november_tunnel_2006.html

I personally put him up there with Van Gogh. It’s color that both had in their seeing and yes, movement of color upon a flat surface that dances with their deftly touch so gentle the strokes yet so deadly in their purpose. Yes, genius they are both and bring so much delight to so many. Bless them both.
