We had a camera club outing to Cartwright Hall, Bradford's civic art gallery. I've been lots of times before and found you aren't allowed to take photos inside, which is always somewhat frustrating. (They sometimes actively stop you, even if you're just using your phone.) As a club we had a photography permit, though we were not supposed to take photos of the artwork itself (except incidentally) or identifiable shots of visitors. So really that ruled out 75% of the possible subjects! Still, it was a good opportunity to explore and catch up with the latest exhibitions.
As well as there being a treasure trove of David Hockney's work in Salts Mill, the art gallery too has a room dedicated to his art and life, him being a Bradford lad and all that. Some of it was set up as if in an artist's studio. The pots of paint and brushes made a good subject to experiment on.
