Yosemite No. 3, 2010: iPad print from David Hockney's Yosemite Suite

Back to: Yosemite suite

Yosemite No. 3 is an iPad drawing by David Hockney from the artist’s Yosemite Suite. The composition presents an abstracted interpretation of Yosemite’s dramatic terrain, with steep golden cliffs intersected by vivid blue striations, contrasted against bright green foliage and a deep navy hillside beneath a clear sky. Hockney’s bold use of colour and simplified forms creates a highly stylised landscape, while the layered digital brushwork reinforces the depth and rhythm of the composition. The work reflects Hockney’s continued exploration of perspective, structure, and the visual possibilities of digital drawing.

Created entirely on iPad, the Yosemite Suite represents a key moment in Hockney’s digital practice, combining traditional landscape observation with contemporary technology. Produced during the artist’s engagement with Yosemite National Park, the series demonstrates how digital media could capture atmosphere, texture, and changing light with immediacy and precision. The Yosemite works remain among the most important examples of Hockney’s digital landscapes and continue to hold strong interest within the market for David Hockney prints and editions.
