Painting to Music - Beethoven's String Quartet No 16 Op 135 in F Major (Part 1)
1String Quartet No. 16 in F Major Op. 135 by Ludwig van Beethoven, with some background painting for extra flavor. Basically, painting set to music without any commentary or discussion. If you want some classical music via youtube, this will give you some additional background imagery. Or if you just want to watch a novice try to freehand paint, this is for you.
The featured oil painting is actually a redo of a pencil drawing I did a few years ago. I thought it might be fun to try the same thing again using oil paint to see how different they are. It’s fascinating to actually visualize what I’ve learned, rather than just broadly imagine. I’ve done this exercise previously comparing pencil drawings, but never comparing a painting to an old drawing. To get a look at the original, check out the YT Shorts link below.
