Kew Gardens
Digital painting (Procreate on iPad). 29th March 2026
A digital painting created on my iPad on a recent visit to Kew Gardens.
Most of the art that I create is the product of my imagination rather than of what I can see in front of me, however I’ve always created sketches of the world around me, usually in sketchbooks.
The iPad, or any tablet, is a great tool for sketching. It’s very convenient, especially if you work in colour as you don’t have to carry a case full of colours with you.
I created this image soon after reading an article about a David Hockney exhibition – a Year in Normandie – which is currently on at the Serpentine Gallery. I obviously had Hockney in mind when I created this image.
