Image
On the iPhone I tended to draw with my thumb. Whereas the moment I got to the iPad, I found myself using every finger.

I'm not going to stop painting just to take orders.
David Hockney

If you are not playful you are not alive.
David Hockney

The high-definition picture is still a perspective picture. That's the real problem, the perspective picture.
David Hockney
Image
I do believe that painting can change the world.
David Hockney
Image
All painting, no matter what you are painting, is abstract in that it's got to be organized.

I was aware that the teaching of drawing was being stopped almost 30 years ago. And I always said, 'The teaching of drawing is the teaching of looking.' A lot of people don't look very hard.
