David Hockney

Fresh Flowers : An iPad Exhibit at the ROM

My Review

David Hockney in his Studio

“I’m about to begin a portrait painting of one of my favorite living artists.
David Hockney’s paintings have inspired me
and influenced how I observe and describe the world around me.
I was excited to find this video of his interview about his most recent exhibit in Toronto.
You see him here with his iPad (my favorite new painting studio) and you can watch him paint in the short video below from Louisiana.

In my opinion…The diversity of David Hockney’s exploration during his 50 year career is what is so fascinating and admirable.

His range from his California paintings, to his photography and photo collage, to his recent return to the landscape, and his iPad paintings are worthy of the title “master artist”

I’m very interested in hearing  your opinion. Please comment below.

When I got my iPad, the first thing I really wanted to do was get a painting App.

I did, and it’s called ArtStudio

ArtStudio is a professional drawing / painting application. It uses advanced mathematics to attain the highest level of quality, at the same time offering incredible performance achieved through numerous code optimizations. It still remains a fantastic tool for beginners – it contains drawing lessons showing step-by-step instruction on drawing various types of images.

My review: It’s just like having an art studio with me wherever I go. I have different drawing and painting tools (brushes, pencils, pens etc), an entire group of novelty tools for textures and more. The size of the tools, their transparency, and many other properties can be changed on the fly. Great color selection tools, symmetrical drawing , multiple layers, and much more.
