    Ashtray, 2010

    Ashtray, 2010 is a 25-edition print release created as part of David Hockney's iPad drawings. Depicting a glass ashtray with cigarette ends against a vivid orange base, the piece has a simple composition but incorporates Hockney's known enjoyment of smoking and presents it with a background of clearly defined lines. The details of light and shading convey the material of the ashtray simply by the colour and placement of the marks, demonstrating Hockney's skill in capturing light.
