David Hockney’s My Window Series.
David Hockney’s My Window series comprises over 100 iPad drawings created between 2009 and 2012, all made from the artist’s bedroom in Bridlington, East Yorkshire. Using the Brushes app on his iPad, Hockney captured the changing seasons, light, and mood through his window, transforming everyday views into vivid digital studies of time and perception.
In 2020, TASCHEN published a limited collector’s edition titled My Window, featuring the complete series in stunning high-resolution prints across 248 pages. The book is a landmark in digital art publishing, and a testament to Hockney’s role as a pioneer in iPad drawing.
Whether viewed on screen or in hand, these works exemplify how Hockney uses technology to observe the world with fresh eyes, making digital art deeply personal, poetic, and timeless.
How Does David Hockney Paint on iPad?
In his 70s and 80s, Hockney embraced technology by creating art with an iPad – a move that surprised many and cemented his role as a truly contemporary master. But how does David Hockney paint on iPad?
He uses a stylus on his Apple iPad, specifically drawing with the Brushes app, which allows him to simulate pencil, brush, and layering techniques digitally. This method enables rapid composition, allowing him to create and revise fluidly—like sketching with light.
About this work
Good to know.
What painting app does David Hockney use on iPad?
David Hockney uses Brushes as his main painting app on the iPad. He started using it in the early 2010s and has continued to work with it for over a decade. Brushes offers intuitive painting tools that mirror watercolour, oil, and ink techniques, making it ideal for artists working digitally.
Why did David Hockney start using the iPad?
Hockney began exploring the iPad in 2010 as a way to draw quickly and intuitively without the need for traditional materials. He was fascinated by how the medium allowed for immediacy, portability, and spontaneity—qualities that perfectly align with his lifelong interest in capturing fleeting moments of beauty.
Are David Hockney’s iPad drawings considered fine art?
Yes. Hockney’s iPad drawings have been shown at prestigious institutions such as the Royal Academy of Arts and are held in private and public collections worldwide. His digital works are viewed as a natural continuation of his artistic exploration across photography, painting, and drawing.

“I have both bought and consigned with Lougher since last year. Always had a very positive experience dealing with all staff at the gallery in both advice on pricing, demand for works, and the consignment process. They are always able to turn things round quickly if required and are super responsive to any queries. I would highly recommend either buying or consigning with Lougher.”
