Art History: Henri Fuseli Romanticism Painter
Henry Fuseli is quite the interesting artist. He was active as an artist between 1750s and 1820s. His style is that of Romanticism. For those that do not know (or care) romanticism came about as a challenge to the Enlightenment. While the Enlighten noblemen where thinking that peace and prosperity laid inside the fumes of an industrial factory waste pipe the Romantics where thinking "yeah right". They hated how materialistic the world had become. Fuseli is of this lot. it is for this reason that his art is so fantastic, so bizarre. Like monsters out of a nightmare. His innovations...
Pouring Art: Green Glow, Organized Swipe, Cuban Flag, and Magma
Today, I wanted to show you another four set of pouring paintings. I have gotten into the habit of making them on a weekly basis. The problem is coming up with a theme for each new project. I have the technique. All I am missing is a theme. So, this is what I came up with. The first one I was going for a tree type of feel. It ended up looking a little predominantly green, with some pink glows here and there. The second painting was done with a swiping mold. I painted the first waves before moving it...
4 Pouring Paintings: Pink Pastel Drop, Pink Swipe on Orange, Flower Mold and Pan Flag Swipe
Today, I wanted to show you my latest pouring paintings. The videos for all these paintings are already up and about in Youtube and Tiktok. I used wooden panels for these pouring paintings. The smooth surface helps the paint flow better. It saves me the trouble of having to dilute so much my paints. I took two photographs of these paintings. The first set of photographs show the dry paintings. The finished results sometimes look a little different. Other times, the variation isn’t much. This time I dried the paintings indoor. It was raining so I wasn’t able to dry...
Five Pouring Abstract Art on Wood Acrylic Paintings
I finally got around to uploading my newest pouring painting videos. If you want to see the making of these paintings, you can check them out in my Artsy Sister Tiktok and Youtube accounts. Unlike my previous pouring paintings, these ones were made on thin pieces of wood. I do not remember what type of wood I used. I had run out of canvases, so, I used a small piece of wood instead. Those woods were part of a craft project that I forgot all about. So, I used them for pouring paintings instead. I added a bit of gesso...
Watercolors Moth on Mango Flowers and Monarch Butterfly on Dry Palm Leaf
Today, I got around to posting my two new watercolor paintings. I try to practice with my watercolors on the weekend. It is a nice change of pace from my regular work. So far, I have been making butterfly paintings. I am trying to paint different butterflies. I do not know what type of moth I painted. I took a photograph of it in my garden. You can see above the photographic reference for my paintings. Taking a photograph saves me the trouble of painting outdoors. Painting outdoors in Florida is a bit of a hassle. It is too hot,...
