My First Attempt To Recreate an Image Using Photoshop!

Painting by David Hockney

Painting by David Hockney

David Hockney, a world renowned British artist born in 1937 has been the inspiration for two classes in my first year of Landscape Architecture.

I have tried to mirror his unique technique of creating one final image from the composition of different elements of various views. Hockney has taught me how to open my eyes and be creative to create my own style of nature, inspired by nature. I would normally take a scene or view and paint and make studies based on exactly how it looks. I can now see how there are other ways to recreate a natural scene, not limited by ink and paper. Initially I found myself really struggling to take this important step back and let go of my natural instincts. With several attempts I successfully created images that I am now happy with.

My work based on D. Hockney's style.
