I've just been to the 'Hockney's Eye' exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge and it was interesting to view his work alongside a selection of the Collection's Old Masters.
I knew something of David Hockney's ideas about how artists had been using various drawing aides for years, as my children about bought me his book on the subject.
During the exhibition I became more interested in his examples of painting using 'Reverse Perspective' and I may well experiment with it for my next painting.
I also liked Hockney's relaxed attitude to perspective which chimed with my own. By all means make use of it but don't let it enslave you.
