Painting Three Winter Trees 29th November 2005 - David Hockney outtake 50/80

This video is an outtake from David Hockney: A Bigger Picture, an award-winning documentary by filmmaker Bruno Wollheim. Watch the full film here: NOW AVAILABLE WITH SUBTITLES: ENG SDH, FR, DE, IT, KO Hockney is out painting on a cold, crisp morning out by Woldgate. The snow is still on the ground. The 4x4 is idling, just in case David needs a break to warm up. It is a demonstration of painting as drawing in the manner of van Gogh. As far as I know, the painting remained a sketch. - Filmed over three years with unprecedented access, A Bigger Picture captures Britain’s most beloved painter at work. David Hockney’s return from California to paint the East Yorkshire landscape of his childhood – outside, in all weathers, through the seasons – culminates in the largest picture ever made outdoors. It’s an inspiring story of a painter in creative dialogue with nature and photography, and a revealing portrait of Britain’s most popular and celebrated artist. “
