May Blossom on the Roman Road - 2009 David Hockney

David Hockney’s The big picture series and his YouTube tutorials for lack of a better word, really gives the artist an insight into true observation of the “Subject and taking a 3 D image and placing it onto a 1D surface .... what the artists impression of what they are seeing rather than what the artist is seeing it’s not about making a realistic image one can do that by taking a photograph... it’s about the moment, the atmosphere the interpretation the emotions and it’s these elements that will evoke a reaction from the viewer, it allows the viewer to become part of the narrative.. the final chapter or stage in the artists creation, it all comes together when the viewer stands in front of a finished piece and has an opinion a reaction good or bad. That’s the challenge for the artist to get the viewer to look at something that the viewer is familiar with but in this instance will experience the image/scene/portrait whatever it may be, the viewer looks at it as if for the first time...
