David Hockey is a painter, printmaker and photographer and was an icon in the pop art movement of the 1960s and is considered one of the most influential British artists ai the 20th century. hockey styles use bright vibrant colours of mostly the subject area of nature and landscapes. David Hockney is primarily hand illustration but more recently he has dove into using Photoshop for picture making and prints, this is so that the prints can be reprinted and the colours are exactly what the printing machines have but in 2008 Hockey said the online tools are too slow and the computer takes 15seconds for the stoke to appear and but the speed with changing colours and different brushes was an advantage. he has also used screen-based drawing methods like and iPad and even an iPhone in recent years.
