Rhythm in Visual Art

Royal Talens technical advisors Justyna and Francine explored exactly that, from the repeated gestures of Van Gogh to the dancing figures of Degas. Their conversation reveals how rhythm shapes every mark you make, often without you even realising it.

How Jazz Album Covers Redefined Visual Storytelling

Jazz album covers transformed music packaging into a bold visual language that still influences design today. What began as simple sleeves evolved into expressive compositions of photography, typography and colour, shaping everything from editorial design to contemporary art. Explore how rhythm, contrast and storytelling became part of these iconic covers and why their impact is still felt across visual culture. Read the full blog to discover the story behind this lasting influence.

Discover the Rhythm of Fluid Colour

Fluid art is all about movement, flow and expression. Colours blend, contrast and interact to create artworks full of energy and rhythm. Ecoline liquid watercolour helps bring this movement to life with its highly fluid formula and vibrant colours. Explore the creative possibilities and discover our Ecoline colours.

Painting the Sound of Colour

What if a painting could feel like music? In this month's Amsterdam Acrylics blog, Jeff Olson explores visual rhythm: how repetition, movement, and colour can carry the energy of a drumbeat or the stillness of a lullaby. Jeff thinks Amsterdam Acrylics are the perfect medium for it, thanks to their speed, flexibility, and range. Read the full blog and let colour find its rhythm.
