salts mill- David Hockneys iPad paintings.

Went to salts Mill for a wonder and decided to go and look at the iPad art and I realised that this is a perfect example of how traditional forms of image making are being changed and adapted to meet the digital advances that are happening. Even thought when looking at these images unclose some of the line work doesn't seem to work cohesively with the rest of the image but from a distance they are in my opinion really beautiful images. The more detailed line work on the tree stumps for example and the road is good, I like the fast paces movement of the lines and how this helps to form the shape of the objects. But I would say that the colours are the strongest aspect of these images. Hockney has selected a really strong and lovely colour pallet that is a key feature to the concept behind the images. The paintings are a series of images that are observation of the seasons , so colour is a key element of this. Hockney also records that change in the scenery and there is a distinct difference between summer and winter. The winter images seem to have a much more darker and sadder tone compared to that of summer, where the colours are much brighter, bolder and there is a lighthearted , joyful feel.
