I was completely absorbed by every image on every page. It is a reminder to me that any single thing in this world can become art, it’s all in the way we see it. This is a remarkable sketchbook.
This was so inspiring (and relaxing)! I love the fact that there's no narration and no music. He just let the imagery speak for itself. Just wonderful!
Makes me want to pick up my pen and inks and make a point of drawing something at least every other day. Like that I can hear him breath as he flips through. Very peaceful. And then the loud intrusions to snap me out of it. The whole video is art. Thankyou for posting and Thankyou David 🌻
It was 6 minutes and 21 seconds of pure joy and enlightenment. What David Hockney inspires me the most, beyond his close inspections of art history and immense curiosity, is his endless passion about making images. That is something I have had as a kid but lost because of other occupations. I have recently decided to quit my job and dedicate myself to this passion. Thank you for sharing this video.
SO nice, seeing an artist still showing to the world that to draw is an unique tool - brain, eyes, hands, pleasure, sensations, and also a post-aesthetic pleasure to the viewer.
as someone else mentioned, THANK YOU for not feeling the need to add loud obnoxious background music to this. very INSPIRING!! i draw, but I have nothing like that sketchbook. NOTHING.
Amazing. Thank you for sharing. Design, composition, mark making - all this accomplished in a sketchbook with the simplest tools. That’s inspiring and humbling at the same time.
Loved the guiet simplicity of this view into the private space of a great painter. It was a real privilege. A finished and framed painting in a public gallery is an artist with their clothes on. A view of their sketch book is like seeing them naked. It's personal and private. He is exposing himself in such an intimate and vulnerable way. I feel privileged to have had a peek into his soul where he works out his thoughts and feelings. It pained me to see his arthritic hands, especially the left one. Not to put down foot and mouth painters, but an artist needs, not only a good eye, but also a flexible hand. Sketch on everyone.
I love that it is a visual diary. I love the size of the sketchbook, not your average A5 but much larger! And I'm grateful for the silence. Thank you so much for sharing! Your sketchbook is an inspiration!
Thankyou. I'm an artist aswell and the looking through my sketch books and paintings like this. It was wonderful to see someone else's work. Thank you again for sharing. ✌❤🐈🇨🇦
I have a mountain of old sketchbooks, somewhere down the road I stopped using sketchbooks and now I use any old piece of paper and shove them all into a folder. Thanks for the inspiration to get back to sketchbooks. I’m going to get myself a new one but not any old sketchbook, it will be the size of a shoe box.
Hi Iris ... I noticed on your "About" page that you are an artist, too. Would love to see some of your artwork if you've posted them somewhere. I imagine as a horticulturalist, plants and nature might be a subject you create art about. Another question (two actually) I have ... did you record the video of Hockney sharing his sketchbook and are you friends with him?
Phenomenal. His commitment to his work is inspiring, and the sketchbooks are intimate travels into his thinking about space and line. The checkered tablecloth is icing on the cake.
I have loved David Hockney for as far back as I can remember engaging with art. He is one of my idols, a true genius, and probably our greatest living artist. I once had the pleasure of meeting him at the Barbican Centre when, for some reason, he suddenly made his way over to the group of people I was with. I thought I had died and gone to heaven!!!
5:13 one of your best!!! I'm working on draws in human body and unless it seems contradictory, including a crowded space or a people reunion in a drawing, help to give vitality to every picture....Drawing more people in one picture give me a vision of what is my progress, not everybody are "good draw" but if I succes in only one ....it give power to continue improving.
You have a treat in store for you! He's done SO many different types of art - polaroid photographs, California pool paintings, many drawings/paintings of his dachshunds - so much beautiful work in his lifetime. I've followed his work for many years and have always loved it!
@@michelepastele5347 I have been watching many interviews with him and seen a great many of his sketches and paintings online. What a brilliant conversationalist and interesting man, his art is simply amazing! Thank you again for posting!
Wow Thank you so much! So inspiring❤️ saw your expo in Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam! Wonderful! So nice to see these sketches. I will definitely pick his up again to try. I cannot draw but this is veryinspiring. I stopped when iI couldn’t draw something! Biut it is all about doing and impressions , thanks again!🎨❤️
Wow!!!'Yhis video was so very "Inspirational", I have the feeling as if I'm on a tour . Its something because it brings an individual close to him as if we're having this conversation. DAVIDHOCKNEY IS A VERY TALENTED AND GIFTED MAN ALIVE TODAY,AND THERE ARE A FEW MORE ,BUT HE DEFINITELY STANDS OUT FROM THOUSANDS.
I love how he’s so gentle with flipping the pages 🥺
A privilege to see David Hockney’s sketch book.
I was completely absorbed by every image on every page. It is a reminder to me that any single thing in this world can become art, it’s all in the way we see it. This is a remarkable sketchbook.
no it's all in the way he draws it, not how we see it
I totally agree with you. It's about vision.
#teamcrumb I think you misunderstand my comment...
This was so inspiring (and relaxing)! I love the fact that there's no narration and no music. He just let the imagery speak for itself. Just wonderful!
Thank you so much!
Yes and there is a loved one always present.
I was about to write the same thing! Thanks for letting us hear the white noise.
These hands who made that art, but that art created by his soul . Just beautiful!! thank you
Love this so much - I’m glad there isn’t any distracting music
One of the simplest and most interesting videos on the internet. Its a mirror for the simplicity of Hockney's draftsmanship actually.
Makes me want to pick up my pen and inks and make a point of drawing something at least every other day. Like that I can hear him breath as he flips through. Very peaceful. And then the loud intrusions to snap me out of it. The whole video is art. Thankyou for posting and Thankyou David 🌻

That’s a very kind and inspiring comment 💜 All the best
Checking in to see if you were able to quit your job and resume making art. I hope you did and were massively successful.
So nice to have no background music or people talking. A simple pleasure to look at a great artists work..thankyou
Agreed! I can't stand the constant noise in this world.
One of the greatest artists of all time...naturally gifted with a transcendent perspective.
Mr. Hockney is brilliantly creative. He is original. His art has evolved as he aged. An amazing man and artist. He is also fascinating to listen to.
SO nice, seeing an artist still showing to the world that to draw is an unique tool - brain, eyes, hands, pleasure, sensations, and also a post-aesthetic pleasure to the viewer.
Just phenomenal, how I would love to (one day) own an original work by David Hockney. He is in my opinion an honest, true artist.
Favorite painter! Living legend... I feel motivating to do something like this ☕
as someone else mentioned, THANK YOU for not feeling the need to add loud obnoxious background music to this. very INSPIRING!! i draw, but I have nothing like that sketchbook. NOTHING.
Wonderful to be able to meander through these like this. Thank goodness for the .25 playback speed option.
I love his drawings so much!!!! Thank you for this video!
Mr. Hockney is such an amazing artist. One of our living master painters!
This goes to show- draw what you see-whatever your see- just draw
Las épocas de edad media 😱

The man is a genius. These are beautiful stunning imaginative lively and glorious

A house...in the middle of all. wonderful and phantastic book. So much soul

I really enjoyed how quiet this is, so calming.
I love your works Mr. David Hockney...........In fact, I have copied a few of your sketches........Thanks for bringing joy to this world.
You can just feel his passion for looking…what a MASTER PAINTER!
All of them are just beautiful
I love that it is a visual diary. I love the size of the sketchbook, not your average A5 but much larger! And I'm grateful for the silence. Thank you so much for sharing! Your sketchbook is an inspiration!
Thank you Mr. Hockey for giving us such a treat. It was intimate and fantastic.

You are so welcome

This was wonderful. Great to watch for inspiration before I start my creative work.
And I thought my drawing book is thick enough then this is like a BRICK
This might as well be the best weapon for self defense
Fascinating! The B&W are out of this world. Thanks for sharing!
What a gift to share your process. I’m humbled and inspired in equal measure. 🙏💕🌷
Phenomenal. His commitment to his work is inspiring, and the sketchbooks are intimate travels into his thinking about space and line. The checkered tablecloth is icing on the cake.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing. Love David's work. He is so inspiring I always watch his videos in my studio before and during my painting process
Thank you very much for showing this.
Fascinating, thank you for sharing it.
Best video I have seen so far on YTube . No talking, just showing amazing artwork . Love David Hockney. Thank you
This book just left me speechless😍 even though I prefer abstract art the simple yet real in the sketches speaks volumes.
That was a joy to view. Thank you.
So pleasing to see. 💯 Motivation! Thanks you❤️
Very spontaneous drawings and almost like a diary.
Fantastic. Both beautiful and inspiring.
I am so happy to see this. So priviledged to see aaster's work, so inspiring! Thank you for sharing 💖
Amazing each day improvement in technique style color coordination
I absolutely love how he's picking the pages up by the edge instead of running his hands all over
Brilliant, thanks so much for sharing xx
Wow, beautiful paintings! Impressive.

I once had the pleasure of meeting him at the Barbican Centre when, for some reason, he suddenly made his way over to the group of people I was with. I thought I had died and gone to heaven!!!
He is still alive, still producing, he is installed in a charming house in Normandie (france).
@@Methilde Thank you for this update. Please give him a hug for me!
@@michelepastele5347 You can see a virtual visit on youtube of his last hexhibition, this winter in Galerie Lelong, Paris.
Merci pour ce partage de grand cœur.
That is one Huge Sketchbook!
Brilliant idea to use both sheets
Was luck enough to see a retrospective a couple years ago at the Metropolitan. Thank you for sharing this amazing video!
Amazing work and so inspiring! Thanks so much!
Gracias por compartir, está precioso!! Relaja y motiva! Felicidades!

Very nice, many thanks for sharing, Ms. Borgers.
Thank you for sharing, stunning
Wow. So beautifull
Love Hockney's art and his work habits. A painters' painter. Cigarettes and lighter are always nearby.
What a brilliant idea, and what a privilege to see it.
Before watching this video, I knew nothing about Mr Hockney other than his name. Thank you for setting my feet on a new path of discovery!
Ohh thats wonderfu !! l , Enjoy
