The artist starts by creating a basic sketch of the idea he has for the final work. He then takes an Ultra Violet (UV) photograph of the sketch and prints the photograph on a special Gesso paper. He then sets about creating the final work by painting over the Gesso paper at various stages alternating between painting and using other substances applied to the paint until he achieves the final result. According to the artist, this specific work “Bird in my House” went through 8 stages to achieve the desired end result that we see.
