    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, 30 March 2011 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney, issued as a limited edition print of 25 as part of the Arrival of Spring in Woldgate series. The composition features a gently curving country lane rendered in soft pink, lavender, and purple tones. In the foreground, a felled tree stump and the remains of an architectural wall anchor the scene, while a patch of bright green grass and a line of trees rise behind the structure, their branches extending upward. To the right, dense trees in varied greens frame the lane, and a section of brick wall in the lower corner adds texture and structure to the composition.

     

    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, 30 March, 2011 demonstrates the depth and detail Hockney achieves through digital media. Varied digital brushwork and layered mark-making create texture across the image, from the stippled detailing that builds the volume of the tree trunks to the subtle tonal shifts within the road surface. These layered strokes show how colour, light, and surface can be constructed with the same richness and complexity associated with traditional painting, reinforcing Hockney’s mastery of digital landscape drawing.
