Some actuality in the attic studio in Bridlington. During a rain-break he returns to an early Spring hedgerow, later titled Looking East. Up on the wall behind is the first of the Woldgate Woods series, in an unfinished state.

Filmed over three years with unprecedented access, A Bigger Picture captures Britain’s most beloved painter at work. David Hockney’s return from California to paint the East Yorkshire landscape of his childhood – outside, in all weathers, through the seasons – culminates in the largest picture ever made outdoors. It’s an inspiring story of a painter in creative dialogue with nature and photography, and a revealing portrait of Britain’s most popular and celebrated artist.

“This wonderful film … will be of lasting importance for future generations who want to understand Hockney’s art.” Saturday Review, BBC Radio 4

“Bruno Wollheim’s portrait of this forthright magus is an unqualified, life-enhancing joy from start to finish.” – The Sunday Times

“This film may well be the best anyone will ever make about Hockney’s process.” – The Times, London.

“As gently hypnotic and fulfilling as one of Hockney’s own works.” – Time Out

“This impressive documentary is almost cinematic in its scope… both majestic and intimate” – The Observer
