Pouring Synesthesia Paintings: Golden Blues
I made two new pouring paintings. Both feature the color blue and yellow a lot. They are going with the flow of a twilight song. This is not from the movie twilight. I mainly played classical music before painting. You can see the video of this artwork in my Artsy Sister Youtube and Tiktok Channels. In both paintings, I used a mold to generate the artwork. One mold had a few holes. The other had a lot. I hope you find my new artworks amusing. I photographed two painting details. Well, this is about it. My name is Teresita Blanco,...
Sandro Botticelli (1445- 1510) Jesus, Portraits and Myth
Sandro Botticelli is an early Renaissance artist. During his time, he was among the first to move away completely from Gothic. His background and figures still carry a bit of the stylized gothic style. Over all, he attempted to mimic nature to the best of his abilities. During this time period, a return to the Greek meant a resurfacing of human idealism. Now being a human is all that matter... Still, the church continued to call the shots in this Greek world. However, depictions of pagan Gods was no longer a taboo. With a rise of kingship and banking, there...
John William Waterhouse Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Greek Art
This is the Last post on John William Waterhouse. This one will focus on Greek myths and women. Its a real bummer that a Romanticism artist made lots of Greek artworks. This subject is common for the enemies of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Still, Waterhouse took this classical subject matter with a Romanticism twist. You know, most of Waterhouse subject matter is depiction of women. Unlike his contemporaries, he is not judgmental about women. He shows different faces of them without succumbing to petty moralism.Now that this lil analysis is over, lets just get the show on the road. The first...
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...
John William Waterhouse of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood Medieval Art
Like other great romanticism artist, Waterhouse had an interest in medieval legends. That time of spirituality, saints and the bizarre fascinated those skeptic romanticist. They where tired of empty logic devoid of meaning. They sought to escape the new materialism. Thus, the looked into the past to find inspiration. Ok, the first painting features Saint Cecilia (1895). She was a blind saint popular during medieval times. She is know as the patron saint of Music. She was only a young teenage girl when the Romans had her killed (along with her husband). As they prepared to chop her head off,...
