Jack Vettriano has decided to respond to his critics by lifting the lid on his creative processes .
Over the next 2 years he will be painting new Images which will be exhibited in 2008. He is planning to write a journal as he paints. He will also invite a photographer into his studio to record his progress . The photographs and journal will be published as a book in 2 years time .
Im not trying to write an Art manual but I think it will be interesting for people to get some insight into how the works come together, he said. The idea is that Id find someone to come and watch me and interview me as I work, so that it can be written from an outside perspective, and there will be lots of photographs to accompany it. Id like it to cover things like how I choose my models, how I get them to sit for me, what I ask them to wear, how I use the photographs I take, that sort of thing. The book would cover the whole process of the work to the finish. Everyone thinks they know everything there is to know already. Thats not the case. They only know the story that Ive allowed to be told, he added.
Richard Calvocoressi, director of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, had described Vettriano as an indifferent painter who based his success on cheap commercial reproductions. Patrick Elliott, a senior curator, had described Vettrianos painting technique as poor.
