The original image in this case is a series of snapshots of Keith Moons drumkit printed out on an old b/w laserprinter (picture 1).
Stage two are pencil sketches which are all done freehand without tracing or technical or optical aides (picture 2).
Next in line are colored sketches on paper using acrylics, water colors, paint markers and whatever else is at hand (picture 3). This part, like almost everything else, is very free and unrestricted, its main purpose is to develop the form, the colors are irrelevant at this point.
The final step is the painting itself (picture 4) done on screen printing board in oil or acrylics.
This whole process is very lose and flexible. The form is now the framework upon which the colors and additional shapes are given room to evolve, comparable to blues based rock'n'roll played by the likes of The Cream, Black Sabbath and, yes, The Who where a rather simple recurring rhythm is used as the base upon which the various instruments improvise thus spontaneously creating something that is totally unplanned and unexpected.
