    The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate, East Yorkshire, 12 April No.2, 2011 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney, issued as a print on paper. The composition depicts a gently curving country road running through the centre of the image, rendered in soft buttery yellow tones with pale blue and pink shadows suggesting tyre tracks across its surface. On either side, green grass lines the road with smaller trees emerging along the verge. Taller trees to the right rise above the rest, painted in layered shades of yellow and green that stand against a soft blue sky, reinforcing the sense of a bright spring landscape.

     

    Although created entirely on an iPad, The Arrival of Spring in Woldgate reveals David Hockney’s deeply trained painter’s eye, where colour, gesture, and composition are handled with the same sensitivity found in traditional media. Vibrant greens, reds, pinks, and blues form a visual diary of the Yorkshire landscape, capturing subtle shifts in light, season, and atmosphere while reflecting Hockney’s lifelong observation of place. This fusion of digital innovation with painterly understanding makes the series instantly recognisable within his wider practice and reinforces its significance within the contemporary print market.

    - David Hockney

    After the release of the iPhone in 2007, David Hockney began using digital devices as an “endless piece of paper,” freeing him from drying times and allowing continuous revision. The iPad’s larger screen further expanded his practice, enabling him to draw with the immediacy of traditional media while continuing his long-standing interest in new technologies.
