From Loudersound.
Roger Dean has announced plans to live stream the creation of the new Yes album cover.
The finished artwork will appear on The Royal Affair: Live packaging, with the first online session scheduled for April 22 at 7pm GMT on the artist’s Facebook page.
Dean says: “What I’m going to be doing is not starting with the painting – I’m going to do, as near as I can to doing it live, the whole process of creating the new Yes live album.
“On Wednesday, I’m going to start playing around with ideas in the sketchbook and hopefully get the process under way with an idea that will work.”
Dean reports that while he’s given the project some thought, “I’ll pretty much be starting with a blank sheet of paper.”
He adds: “I’ll work on colour roughs and from there, transfer the whole thing to the finished painting.”
Dean is planning 30-minute sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and adds: “It might be longer – it’s not going to be necessarily a fixed process.”
Last week, Yes announced a number of rescheduled shows on their Album Series tour. They’ll now take place in 2021 after the 2020 shows were postponed due to the global lockdown.
