My family is a family of artists. From generations to generations we had supported and embraced the ARTS.

Portrait of Isabella de Polloni y LepianiThe original Polloni family were merchants and artists that moved from Italy to Cádiz, Spain. In this city Francisco de Polloni y Lepiani was born in 1733. he moved to Chile in 1752, starting the genealogy of the Polloni family in Chile.

As a present to him, I had created a sister in a painting, her name is Isabella de Polloni y Lepiani, portraying her time in history, her loving expression of the eyes and smile.

Portrait of Isabella de Polloni y LepianiInstructions:

  1. In this painting I started by drawing Isabella with pastels over the canvas. Defining the light and the shade.
  2. Using oils I started painting the skin, blending light and shade to the color of the skin. Repeat the process as many times as it is necessary to create a soft skin. Follow by lips, eyes and hair.
  3. Painted the background in deep colors to accent the face.
  4. Finally her close with light, shade and two tones of blues, Cerulean Blue and Thalo Blue.
  5. Sign your work of art.
