Abstract Painting: Vibrational Energy of Music
Workshops | Available
This workshop is an introduction to listening to the vibrational energy of sounds, and how to interpret those sounds into colors, shapes and textures. Demonstrations will show how painting taps into the vibrational energy of music. We’ll discuss how these different sounds affect us emotionally and how we interpret them into our abstract painting. This is really an eye-opening experience that crosses art and sound.
