'New canvas. I paint three layers of black gesso, put the screen on the black canvas, draw the project in the white pencil (on the canvas and the black screen), apply the first layer of scotch tape leaving the first colour (RED) exposed, draw on the tape with black pen, apply the second layer of scotch tape (750m of used tape), the white drawing is cleaned off, I draw the base by black-felt pen, airbrush the first layers in red acrylic, remove the second layer of tape, finish painting the red square, remove and replace the tape leaving the second colour (GREEN) exposed, draw in black-felt pen on the tape, apply the second layer of tape (1500 of used tape) clean off the white pencil, draw the base with black-felt pen, apply the second layer of tape, final painting of the green square, remove and replace the tape leaving the third colour (BLUE) exposed, draw in black pen on the scotch tape, apply the second layer of tape (2250m of used tape), the white pen is cleaned off, I draw the base with black felt-pen, airbrush the first layer in blue acrylic, remove the second layer of tape, final painting of the blue square, make finishing touches to the three colours.
