David Hockney
Sat painting course for all levels. Painting Color, Light, and Everyday Wonder
4 Saturdays · 10:00–13:00
All levels welcome
This four-week painting course is dedicated to the work of David Hockney, one of the most influential living artists and a master of seeing the ordinary world with fresh eyes.
We will focus on Hockney's later landscapes, created after his return to Yorkshire and during the years when he began drawing extensively on the iPad. Rather than treating digital sketches as finished artworks, Hockney used them as a way to capture fleeting changes in light, color, and atmosphere, later translating this directness and spontaneity into large-scale paintings bursting with color and energy.

Introduction to David Hockney's work, with a focus on his Yorkshire landscapes and iPad drawings.
We will analyze his compositional strategies, color choices, and methods of simplifying nature. Participants will create a small painted copy of a Hockney landscape to better understand his visual language and decision-making.

Hockney rarely painted nature exactly as he saw it. Instead, he used color to express mood, rhythm, and seasonal change.
Working from landscape photographs, participants will create a series of quick studies, experimenting with exaggerated color, simplified forms, and bold contrasts. The goal is to learn how color can become the main subject of a painting.

Using either personal photographs or references provided by the studio, students will develop a larger composition inspired by Hockney's methods.
We will focus on creating movement through roads, trees, and repeating forms while learning how to organize a landscape into strong shapes and color fields.

The final session is dedicated to completing a finished landscape painting.
Participants will refine their compositions, strengthen color relationships, and bring together the lessons of the previous weeks. Those who finish early may create an additional small study exploring seasonal color transformations in the spirit of Hockney's Yorkshire series.

Sunday drawing sessions with a nude model
On Sundays, we gather to study the human form through quick nude sketches. Each pose lasts from 2 to 12 minutes, helping to train your eye, refine your technique, and appreciate the beauty of every body. These sketches become not only a valuable artistic exercise but also an incredible resource for future painting projects.
Our models are contemporary dancers, actors, fashion models, and plus-size models. Their energy and presence make every session different — and genuinely inspiring.
We study anatomy, but we don't stop there. We experiment with technique, explore personal style, and make space for artistic freedom. This is also a meditative practice — one that sharpens the eye and quiets the mind.

Our artists have gone from their very first stroke to their first sale. We've helped participants exhibit and sell their work — through our own curated art markets and joint shows. You could be next.
