David Hockney: A Bigger Picture plot

The documentary follows artist David Hockney over a three-year period as he leaves California to return to his hometown of Yorkshire. This major change coincides with a desire to reinvent his entire approach to oil painting. For the first time he paints in the open air, in the middle of the landscape, from season to season and in all kinds of weather. For the first time, he also allows a camera to film him while he is at work. The film also explores Hockney's love-hate relationship with photography, a medium that has been his mainstay until then. During the shooting of this documentary, he tries to completely ban photography from his work for a while. Working with watercolors and studying Chinese painted parchment scrolls, he learns the craft of painting from scratch.
