Pouring Twilight Synesthesia: Sunset and Twilight Art
I made two new pouring paintings. These are the wet forms. I also photographed two painting details. I like my pouring paintings in their wet form. The way they dry is a bit erratic. It all depends on the weather. I could dry them indoors, but mom has issues with the smell. I also have issues with the smell of paint. It is best to have it dry elsewhere. The first painting has the colors of sunset. It was down dutch pouring style. I added the colors before blowing on them with a straw. The second painting was a swipe...

Dried Pouring Twilight Paintings
I wanted to show you some new pouring paintings I made. I played a vinyl record to make these paintings. They are all themed after twilight sounds.

You can check them out in my...

Their lot are contemporaries with the impressionist artists. Some of Waterhouse paintings have an impressionist feel about them. Like his pals, Waterhouse had romantic aspirations. Romanticism came about as a response to the Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment.They where skeptic about the improvements of science. They did not share the naive belief that science would end inequality. They sought to fill a spiritual void created by science. Thus, they looked...
Pouring Twilight Soul
I made a new pouring painting. This one was done with the leftover paints. These paintings were done synesthesia style. I listened to the music, and I painted the colors. The theme of that vinyl record was pretty dark. So, the leftover paintings ended up being dark. You can check out the pouring painting videos in my Artsy Sister Youtube and Tiktok channels. I hope that you find them amusing. Please give a like and subscribe. My name is Teresita Blanco, the Artsy Sister. Bye, bye and God bless.
