Hockney at the RA

In his show “82 Portraits and a Still Life”, David Hockney in my opinion made a great case at describing a contemporary version of what Matisse had been doing with “Green Stripe”.

The artist’s use of acrylic is also a point of inspiration for my own work. I find that the use of this particular medium helps in the layering of bright colours. It also dries faster than oil, helping with the pace of painting.
