The Sound of Color

11″ x 14″ Mixed media on canvas board

“The Sound of Color” is a vibrant mixed media painting on canvas board created with watercolor and alcohol inks. I’ve been on a alcohol ink binge lately, playing with all the new shades, these things are very exciting to me!!

If you think that it’s just a bunch of splashed ink, anyone can do that, well, it’s a little more complicated. You need to have a knack for color blending, color placement, and balance, and it takes some practice using alcohol, and other mediums to get the optimum effect. I’m not an expert, but I have spent many hours playing and experimenting including many trials and errors!

I’ve added this painting to my Fine Art America site. I love playing with the different frame and matting options on their site, it’s amazing how different paintings look with various frames and matting options!

        That’s an interesting question. I’ve been told some people hear notes as different colors. You could map the colors in your painting to the Sonochromatic Scales to see what it sounds like: https://www.munsell.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Harbissons-Sonochromatic-Scales.jpg

            Isn’t it cool. If I get some time I try mapping out some of your colors into music.

    I love the colour in this one. I think that anyone who says that anyone can do it, obviously hasn’t tried it. They are probably the same people who say “Oh I can’t Draw” because they can’t draw a masterpiece the first time they sit down. Sorry, in a very negative mood today. Overcast and going to rain for two whole days!

      Agreed. Sorry for your dismal weather, whereas we haven’t seen rain since February and I would dance and celebrate if it would!! But I do understand how overcast and dark can get depressing, in fact, I just bought some good bright light bulbs for my studio!

      Thanks, Joni!! These virtual display rooms are so cool, and this painting would probably fit into most decors, it’s got almost all the colors!
