David Hockney’s iPad painting – Untitled, 382 – is going on display for the first time in Europe

The artwork – of his Los Angeles garden is being shown on giant screens across the UK along with message – “keep calm and carry on drawing.

The 79-year-old artist said it was "a very exciting moment to see this painting of my garden… on its biggest ever canvas".

He added: "When I created this work I always imagined it would look rather good on a large scale, and I'm delighted that people from across the UK will see this picture come to life.
