Creating Piano Man was great fun. I started the piece applying collage to the substrate. The stripes of the paper reminded me of piano keys...then the light bulb went off. From there, I drew a "James Bond" type guy as the focal point.
The background is dark value acrylic, like a smoked filled nightclub. The bold colors are striking. The "whites" of his cuffs and collar define him beautifully.
This mixed media piece measures 12 x 12.
