This was a masters degree project using edited footage of David Hockney painting plein-aire in the Yorkshire Wolds in 2006. The visual footage was extracted from the DVD 'David Hockney - A Bigger Picture' - available on Amazon. The original 'bonus' footage on the DVD is 17 minutes in duration. Attribution to the filmmakers - Bruno Wollheim and Coluga Pictures. Uploaded with permission from Bruno Wollheim (Coluga Pictures). Music composed by Anna Rusbatch.
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.
It takes many years to that level of simplicity
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.

Beautiful..... Love from Indonesia
Thank you David Hockney!!
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.
It was hypnotic watching him work.
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.
Watchingf a master at work.Nonchalance masking brilliance.
Perfectly lovely & and David did much of it with one hand in his pocket! 🥰
Class !
It's probably cold.
The easier it looks, the harder it is, years of draughtmanship gives that confidence and skill.
This is so beautiful I actually cried. Like looking through the eyes of a truly great artist. We’re so privileged to see this.
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.
Couldn't agree more
England's such a beautiful place. I'm from America and I'd love to visit it someday.
When you visit England, stay away from the big cities, you’ll be disappointed. England’s beauty lies in the countryside and the tiny villages.
@@Aussiemarco I'm sure the cities aren't that bad. What I'd look forward most would be to meet the people there. They may talk a little funny but in every sense they're all just like us Americans.
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.
Where can we watch the full film please
Wow!! This is magnific
Wonderful Hockney. We walk the dogs up this lane every morning during lockdown. X
Unbelievable
I enjoyed this immensely. Thank you
Love the technique..pure grace.
We are very, very fortunate to observe this wonderful painter give us his gifts - WOW! Thank you, does not even begin to express this graditude.
truly lovely
❤️ thank you for sharing this inspiring video!
Hallo Valerie, vielen Dank für dieses Video ❤
Awesome thank you very much
Quelle liberté dans le geste et la couleur, quelle spontanéité ! Magnifique ! Bravo et merci pour ces précieux instants!
I just adore you master!!!
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.
Love your Art its fantastic
I don’t live far from here and it’s just lovely to see David’s interpretation of this beautiful place.
Where was it exactly ?
So lovely.
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.
This was a pleasure to see a master process. He makes it look effortless
Les couleurs complémentaires fonctionne à merveille dans la campagne anglaise 🎩
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.
Better than Van Gogh ,hilarious , I’m shocked at how amateurish it is .Van Gogh was a brilliant artist ,Hockney isn’t good enough to clean his boots .
@@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.
@@johncastle8254 sorry I’m new to art and just started painting recently how is this amateurish, what are the errors? Isn’t art mark making to make an image of the person’s perspective? Thanks
I love that this man exist
Loved watching this video. Beautiful painting.
Just incredible. Makes it seem effortless.
Heroinman42 should be youre name
Wonderful,the master at work.
That green, that red, that yellow....these trees are so damn cool.
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
Color use of color, wonderful eye, delft hand, augmented by a true artists mind. Simply complex. Visually true. The eye wanders- the mind and spirit soars. Sit back with a biscuit and smoke and ponder. Bless him.
Pure class, a fine English painter, we are lucky to have him.
Awesome moment Sir. 🙏
Love the variation of line and fluent application of paint- thank you for sharing your land and your work David, i will show my students and it will be inspirational.
Awesome painting strong colors
Wow. The finished painting really captured the atmosphere of the location.
MagnificNt mesmerised sir what a master of his profession he makes it look so easy inspired to draw myself now thank google for this one theusic sets it off beautifully
Absolute beauty 🙏 respect
Truly one of the most inspiring humans without ever trying to be so. I could watch him paint all day. Beautiful.
Hockney is a gift and what gorgeous music!
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
Having seen this in exhibition, it was a joy to see how it came to be.
Gracias por compartir tu saber te admiro Maitre
That's a beautiful painting, done by a lovely man. As an artist, let me give potential buyers a tip The more freedom you give an artist, the better the work will be. That's when the magic happens. God bless you good Sir.
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!
Veryi Very good.
Notice how he holds the brush.. a true master!! The brushwork is magnificent..🙏🏻👌
superb.
Lovely movement and vitality born of freedom in this work. Bravo David! Thank you!
So beautiful!! Bravo maestro!
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.
I adore this man! Would like to meet him and tell him how much I admire him and his work.wonderful, wonderful David!
Love this gentle man and his work. A World Treasure is right!
Unesco world treasure for sure .
I love the way he catches shadows
That is gorgeous!
Muchas grácias !!
Whats more beautiful? The music or the art or the artist at work? I say their all beautiful together and also apart.
Pintor extraordinario, artista sublime. Maestro de maestros. David, gracias por tanta belleza.
Just superb. A true master.
A true master? At the level of Velazquez, Rembrandt, Sorolla...? please...he does a bad version of Van Gogh's brushstroke and combines it with pop-art fluor colors and that makes him a master?...
@@lluhu I see a master of his craft, producing marvellous works.
@@edwardmclaughlin7935 I guess then, good for you... in my opinion he is a mediocre artist, but of course I compare him to big names because the art market decided he is a big name now. Compared to Velazquez, Goya, Sorolla, Monet, Klimt, Schiele, Lucian Freud, Jenny Saville...he is clearly an amateur.
@@lluhu I understand: there are so many charlatans in the art world. I cannot bide the posturing idiots who waffle on about their work, which is in so many cases dreadful rubbish. The artists you cite are all of them rightfully recognised as giants. It is my view that Hockney is at home in their company.
@@edwardmclaughlin7935 Contain yourself Edward, if you get personal it is clearly because you lack arguments. Accept different points of view without insulting. You love his works, I find them mediocre. You don't want to discuss why and insult others. Then, end of the discussion.
THIS SHOWS YOU YEARS /THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF HARD WORK/ LOOKING/ PAINTING./ LEARNING xx gREAT MAN x
Wonderful share! Thank you! Love the fluidity in his brush strokes, his bold application of color, the way in which he layers the application of color.
If this doesn’t get you inspired to go out and paint I don’t know what would!
Grande e maravilhoso mestre . ⭐⭐⭐⭐👏👏👏👏❤️🎨
simply beautiful.♥♫
So incredibly calming
He's actually painting = what a man!
MASTER!!!! MAESTRO!!!!!
amazing.
Brilliant! Love the shadow work.
What a smooth way to paint... I love his brushstrokes.. ☀️👍
As beautiful to watch as a leaf falling from one of those trees or the sun setting at the end of the road.
The most beautiful moment! Respect! Love Beautiful Britain! and David Hockney!
Bravo.
Brilliant artist
How generous and kind to share these moments with us. I have always been too desperate to just get by,wish I had stuck to my guns when I was younger and not let others deter me for really going for what I needed to do for me as David Hockney has done.
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]
Never to late , grab a blank A4 hard cover sketch book , dont try and copy , feel , paint what's in front of you whatever colours
your paintings are lovely.we were learning about you in school today
this man is so brilliant.....ive watched this about 10 times...he is one of my fav brit painters of all time..
i would delete "brit" and substitute "contemporary."
And the second brilliant English painter is Freud.
Well, Leonardo da Vinci would surely not share your opinion, but what knows da Vinci about art anyways...
@@lluhu Da Vinci knew how to apply mathematics in art, he didn't know the pure art, cause he has been living in the very past, long time ago.
@@alittlegreenjean no, cause every things on earth breathing, growing, feeling are your contemporary
I feel humbled. I always obsess about being a tight photo realist and he just goes about this kind of painting so casual and honest. He is like the old man punk rock of painting.
Go humble by youre self you humbly bumbly man
he has a very gentle hand, his wrist really never moves, only his arm.
Grande David
Es realmente bello e inspirador su trabajo, gracias por ser una luz.
love his work!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David brings so much pleasure and serenity.
serenity? His paintings are jumpy. If you like serenity check Monet.
a masterclass of living in the moment
absolutely brilliant love his work
ça parait tellement facile, hein? Merci Monsieur Hockney de nous faire partager ce moment.
love his work
Thank you for posting.
Beautiful
He is a master.
Next best this to painting is watching someone paint. Hockey is one of my favorites 😄
Thanks very much for posting this lovely video. I have always learned a lot from watching others work, and DH is very interesting. I have read Martin Gayford's book several times now.
His world is really vivid.
Fantastic David hopper is so loyal to his art and loves painting so much.He is also not afraid of normal figurative painting Good luck!
What’s his last name again
just amazing to see and hear the sounds on the canvas
