DAVID HOCKNEY: Drawing Outside

DAVID HOCKNEY: Drawing Outside

RECORDING ONLY - watch instantly after booking until 30th August 2025

Taught by Frances Stanfield

“I believe that the very process of looking can make a thing beautiful.”

- Hockney

Hockney is a prolific artist and describes his job as ‘picture maker’ - a humble description for one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century. Across his 60 year career he has created thousands of drawings, painting, prints, collages and artist books. He is a renowned draftsman but has explored many different mediums which often feed into his paintings and drawings.

For this class, tutor Frances Stanfield will be guiding you through Hockney’s process and ways of working with large scale paintings and detailed landscapes, often fragmenting and breaking them down, using photography to capture numerous viewpoints. We will also be delving into his world of dense woods and the Yorkshire’s countryside.

Suggested Materials

• 12 x pieces of paper (preferably A3/A2 but any size will do)
• a pencil or pen

This class is suitable for all levels!

ARE YOU TRYING TO BOOK VIA THE EVENTBRITE PHONE APP?!

We have been in touch with Eventbrite, and they have informed us that currently you cannot book tickets to online events in their app. It's very frustrating and we have been assured they are working on a solution. In the meantime, we recommend that you book tickets to our events outside of the iOS app - either via a web browser or a desktop. If you book our classes regularly we recommend deleting the eventbrite App.

IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OR QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL :

And that's it!

We're really looking forward to you joining us.

Love,
