“Weaving The Yarn At The Tar River NC”, Oil painting 24″x36″

Weaving The Yarn at the Tar River NCThis painting was inspired by this lady weaving her yarn at the Tar River in North Carolina. She also stained her creative yarns with beautiful bright colors. 

“The motif of the human figure in a dialogue with natures light and colors.” In these paintings Clina Polloni is portraying the people of North Carolina in their environment and activities, representing the colonial times and history of our state.

Instructions:

  1. Start by drawing the lady and landscape defining the light and the shade. Look at image.
  2. Do your under-paint or imprimatura with a wash of acrylic gold and silver. Acrylics are very good for under-painting because they dry faster. They creates a worm color that once you put the oils in the top, they look brighter.
