Studio Saturday: This Is The Sound

This weekend has been very productive due to mostly one reason: music. I sat my bottom down the last two nights and put on an album, no shuffle, just listened all the way through while painting. I forced myself to not get interrupted, other than for the necessary sip of coffee and/or a message on my phone. Music is very important and inspires my work and I believe after all this time, I have found a new way to focus. I always usually listen to music when painting, or watch a TV show, it just depends on what I'm doing and how focused I need to be. Either way, I have a snippet of some works in progress - I have not worked on one of these this weekend, but you'll see the finished product soon enough. 

Left side is one evolution, right side is another. Oh and yes I used Photo Grid for this.......

As a reference, here is the music I've listened to to help me paint the past 48 hours. 

Friday: Hallatar - No Stars Upon the Bridge (painted all the way through)

Saturday: Edge of Sanity - Crimson (to get me in the mood to paint and tidy up)
                Trees of Eternity - Hour of the Nightingale (painted all the way through)
                The Birthday Massacre - Walking With Strangers (painted halfway through)
                Cellar Darling - This is the Sound (painted and wrote this blog through)

May the music inspire you.
