I was completely absorbed by every image on every page. It is a reminder to me that any single thing in this world can become art, it’s all in the way we see it. This is a remarkable sketchbook.
This was so inspiring (and relaxing)! I love the fact that there's no narration and no music. He just let the imagery speak for itself. Just wonderful!
It was 6 minutes and 21 seconds of pure joy and enlightenment. What David Hockney inspires me the most, beyond his close inspections of art history and immense curiosity, is his endless passion about making images. That is something I have had as a kid but lost because of other occupations. I have recently decided to quit my job and dedicate myself to this passion. Thank you for sharing this video.
Makes me want to pick up my pen and inks and make a point of drawing something at least every other day. Like that I can hear him breath as he flips through. Very peaceful. And then the loud intrusions to snap me out of it. The whole video is art. Thankyou for posting and Thankyou David 🌻
SO nice, seeing an artist still showing to the world that to draw is an unique tool - brain, eyes, hands, pleasure, sensations, and also a post-aesthetic pleasure to the viewer.
as someone else mentioned, THANK YOU for not feeling the need to add loud obnoxious background music to this. very INSPIRING!! i draw, but I have nothing like that sketchbook. NOTHING.
I have loved David Hockney for as far back as I can remember engaging with art. He is one of my idols, a true genius, and probably our greatest living artist. I once had the pleasure of meeting him at the Barbican Centre when, for some reason, he suddenly made his way over to the group of people I was with. I thought I had died and gone to heaven!!!
I have a mountain of old sketchbooks, somewhere down the road I stopped using sketchbooks and now I use any old piece of paper and shove them all into a folder. Thanks for the inspiration to get back to sketchbooks. I’m going to get myself a new one but not any old sketchbook, it will be the size of a shoe box.
Amazing. Thank you for sharing. Design, composition, mark making - all this accomplished in a sketchbook with the simplest tools. That’s inspiring and humbling at the same time.
Thankyou. I'm an artist aswell and the looking through my sketch books and paintings like this. It was wonderful to see someone else's work. Thank you again for sharing. ✌❤🐈🇨🇦
I love that it is a visual diary. I love the size of the sketchbook, not your average A5 but much larger! And I'm grateful for the silence. Thank you so much for sharing! Your sketchbook is an inspiration!
Wow Thank you so much! So inspiring❤️ saw your expo in Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam! Wonderful! So nice to see these sketches. I will definitely pick his up again to try. I cannot draw but this is veryinspiring. I stopped when iI couldn’t draw something! Biut it is all about doing and impressions , thanks again!🎨❤️
Hi Iris ... I noticed on your "About" page that you are an artist, too. Would love to see some of your artwork if you've posted them somewhere. I imagine as a horticulturalist, plants and nature might be a subject you create art about. Another question (two actually) I have ... did you record the video of Hockney sharing his sketchbook and are you friends with him?
Phenomenal. His commitment to his work is inspiring, and the sketchbooks are intimate travels into his thinking about space and line. The checkered tablecloth is icing on the cake.
Loved the guiet simplicity of this view into the private space of a great painter. It was a real privilege. A finished and framed painting in a public gallery is an artist with their clothes on. A view of their sketch book is like seeing them naked. It's personal and private. He is exposing himself in such an intimate and vulnerable way. I feel privileged to have had a peek into his soul where he works out his thoughts and feelings. It pained me to see his arthritic hands, especially the left one. Not to put down foot and mouth painters, but an artist needs, not only a good eye, but also a flexible hand. Sketch on everyone.
This is so inspiring. I can never replicate the wonder that you create….but maybe when all is done, a series would let my own style emerge. Never to compare, but maybe I could do something i was proud of. I love your work.
Wow!!!'Yhis video was so very "Inspirational", I have the feeling as if I'm on a tour . Its something because it brings an individual close to him as if we're having this conversation. DAVIDHOCKNEY IS A VERY TALENTED AND GIFTED MAN ALIVE TODAY,AND THERE ARE A FEW MORE ,BUT HE DEFINITELY STANDS OUT FROM THOUSANDS.

A privilege to see David Hockney’s sketch book.
I love how he’s so gentle with flipping the pages 🥺
I was completely absorbed by every image on every page. It is a reminder to me that any single thing in this world can become art, it’s all in the way we see it. This is a remarkable sketchbook.
no it's all in the way he draws it, not how we see it
I totally agree with you. It's about vision.
#teamcrumb I think you misunderstand my comment...
This was so inspiring (and relaxing)! I love the fact that there's no narration and no music. He just let the imagery speak for itself. Just wonderful!
Thank you so much!
Yes and there is a loved one always present.
I was about to write the same thing! Thanks for letting us hear the white noise.
This goes to show- draw what you see-whatever your see- just draw
Las épocas de edad media 😱
One of the simplest and most interesting videos on the internet. Its a mirror for the simplicity of Hockney's draftsmanship actually.
These hands who made that art, but that art created by his soul . Just beautiful!! thank you
So nice to have no background music or people talking. A simple pleasure to look at a great artists work..thankyou
Agreed! I can't stand the constant noise in this world.
Mr. Hockney is brilliantly creative. He is original. His art has evolved as he aged. An amazing man and artist. He is also fascinating to listen to.
It was 6 minutes and 21 seconds of pure joy and enlightenment. What David Hockney inspires me the most, beyond his close inspections of art history and immense curiosity, is his endless passion about making images.

That’s a very kind and inspiring comment 💜 All the best
Checking in to see if you were able to quit your job and resume making art. I hope you did and were massively successful.
One of the greatest artists of all time...naturally gifted with a transcendent perspective.
David Hockney 's sketchbook in Normandie , France ! Just wow !!!
Makes me want to pick up my pen and inks and make a point of drawing something at least every other day. Like that I can hear him breath as he flips through. Very peaceful. And then the loud intrusions to snap me out of it. The whole video is art. Thankyou for posting and Thankyou David 🌻
Just phenomenal, how I would love to (one day) own an original work by David Hockney. He is in my opinion an honest, true artist.
You can just feel his passion for looking…what a MASTER PAINTER!
LEGEND, love his work. can't get enough of it
Mr. Hockney is such an amazing artist. One of our living master painters!
Love this so much - I’m glad there isn’t any distracting music
SO nice, seeing an artist still showing to the world that to draw is an unique tool - brain, eyes, hands, pleasure, sensations, and also a post-aesthetic pleasure to the viewer.

Wonderful sketch book- each page is a window into a new world.
The man is a genius. These are beautiful stunning imaginative lively and glorious

He is still alive, still producing, he is installed in a charming house in Normandie (france).
@@Methilde Thank you for this update. Please give him a hug for me!
@@michelepastele5347 You can see a virtual visit on youtube of his last hexhibition, this winter in Galerie Lelong, Paris.
Breathtaking.. No mistakes.. I fear the sketches are in first place..out do it or go down. Just perfect.. Really really sunken treasure
That is one thick sketchbook!😯😯
Amazing book. David where did you get it?
And I thought my drawing book is thick enough then this is like a BRICK
This might as well be the best weapon for self defense
Favorite painter! Living legend... I feel motivating to do something like this ☕
Thank you very much for showing this.

This book just left me speechless😍 even though I prefer abstract art the simple yet real in the sketches speaks volumes.
I love your works Mr. David Hockney...........In fact, I have copied a few of your sketches........Thanks for bringing joy to this world.
Simply beautiful 🌷
Best video I have seen so far on YTube . No talking, just showing amazing artwork . Love David Hockney. Thank you

Mesmerizing. ❤
An amazing sketchbook! 👏
Amazing. I really like them
I love your work. It is difficult to capture the planned randomness of nature. I especially like the trees and bushes drawings.
That's so beautiful!
