What kind of music do you listen to while painting?

[Henry Wienhold]

Music is important to me when I paint also, Claudemir.
My moods fluctuate frequently. Several weeks ago it was Willie Nelson and Patsy Cline. Then I went into a Fats Domino period, then I shifted to the Moody blues, this week it was Santana.

Thanks Henry for the reply,

It seems to me that not many artists like to listen to music while painting, they don't what they've been missing, it's a powerful way to get inspiration to produce art.

Happy painting...

[Allan Rahbek]

Bonfim, you

Hi Allan,

That's interesting, among the few artists who told me about their preferences, you're the first one who mentioned the radio.

Now I'm curious about the Danish radio stations.

Lykkelig billede, (happy painting... Is that right?)

Hello Claudemir,

I listen to music.
Lately I have been listening to music that is relative to my painting.
I have been painting a violin still life, so have been playing violin concertos as i paint.
Although by the end of the day, i usually play something rocky as i tidy up.

My teacher gave me this idea. He said that when painting an apple, he will have one close by & keep picking it up & holding it . He would even take a bite of it. By this, trying to connect with the essence of the apple.

Bonfim,

When I play the CD

[Debra Norton]

I listen to the radio too, mostly because I'm at a school and have to use headphones. I usually listen to a classical music station, sometimes jazz, and sometimes contemporary Christian music. Occasionally I listen to a recorded book, but I've noticed I tend to "zone out" and miss parts of it, which makes it kind of confusing.
