On a visit to Tyler's workshop in 1978, Hockney discovered paper pulp. After some experimentation he found that he could pigment and " paint " with this medium. The " Paper Pools " are a group of 95 paper pulp works created during a three month period of collaboration in 1978. Hockney concentrated on the Tyler swimming pool, he photographed, sketched, and studied it. Recording the water's light qualities and how they changed.
