"David Hockney, one of the most influential British artists of the past century, has already been using the Brushes application on the device to draw pictures and email the results to friends.
The 72-year-old, who lives in Bridlington, was a well-known user of the application on his iPhone, and would similarly create 'paintings' before emailing them to around 20 friends."
He sees the iPad as a way for drawing by hand to "make a comeback rather than an indication that the new technology would lead to the skill diminishing".
This is an interesting perspective, especially from an artist, in a time where there is so much controversy about how technology diminishes the value of art.
