In the midst of a small town called Dollar in Clackmannanshire, Scotland is artist Charlie Anderson and his big paintings. We went to meet Charlie and take a look around his workspace as he prepared for his recent exhibition 'Pop Art on Pall Mall'. He showed us his spray cans, hairdryers – yes hairdryers, and explained the process behind his paintings.

• The creation of each painting is a total frenzy, and although I'm constantly chucking paint and materials all over the place, I do know where everything is!
• I've been developing grayscale stencils by cutting out lines that produce a more photographic image than traditional stencils, this girls is over 2 and a half metres high and made from 550 lines, each line is 55cm long.
• I try to make my paintings look like torn paper and street billboards, but by only using paint to create them. I love referencing bits of art history along the way! (I got the girl on the right from the same comic book Roy Lichtenstein referenced from).
• I once sprayed a 10-metre wall without it...
• Gotta wash my screens out somewhere.
• Used to paint small canvases, but bigger is much more fun.
• I hate waiting for paint to dry; the Lady 1000 takes care of that!
• Finally been offered an in store discount.
• Stocking up my empty jars for mixing paint.
• To emulate the layered effect of weathered billboards I layer up painted imagery and paint over it with more imagery, whilst revealing parts of the layer before. I use stencils, screens and good old fashioned painting, and at times the canvases end up so thick with paint they can't be moved without crumbling.
