How To Paint A White Adobe Church

Tags

Adobe Church, Cary, Clina Polloni, Franklinton, Landscape, NC, North Carolina, Oil paintings, Raleigh, Wake Forest

This painting was inspired by my life in Rabones, a valley of dreams located in the mountains of the central region of Chile.

I lived for 10 years in our farm called “Las Puertas de Rabones”. I was close to God, to nature and to animals. Memories of golden sunny days, enjoying the company of beautiful people with spirits as clear as the crystal waters of “Rio Putagan” running through the fertile land. I learned about their culture, their traditions and the purity of their lives. Visit http://www.clinapolloni.com/paintings_of_rabones.html

Instructions:

1. Start by drawing the church and landscape.
2. Give a soft coat of acrylic gold to the church and silver for the sky. Acrylics are very good for under-painting, they creates a worm color that once you put the oils in the top, they look brighter.
3. Next paint with oils sky, grass, clouds, church, mountain and land.
4. Sign your work of art.

Supply:

Acrylics: There are many brands of acrylic paintings that I have tested but the one that I like the most is: SOHO, Urban Artistic Acrylic: Excellent paintings, sold at more reasonable price by Jerry’s Arterama. 3060 Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, NC 27609. (919) 876-6610.

Comice Green Pear, Instructions and Supply.

Tags

Cary, Clina Polloni, Comice Pear, Durham, Franklinton, North Carolina, Painting Classes, Raleigh, Wake Forest

This painting was created for the painting classes, is a simple and charming painting of a Comice pear. They are among the sweetest and juiciest of all varieties of pears, and are a favorite in holiday gift boxes and baskets.

Instructions:

1. Start by drawing the pear, thinking about light and shade.
2. In this painting I did an under-paint of Yellow Ochre and Gold with acrylics because they dry faster. The under paint is very important because you are continuing to draw with colors and defining light and shade in your final painting.
3. Paint the background first.
4. Enjoy doing your final painting. In this case I use oils because I love their bright colors and blending.

Supply:
This painting can be done in 2 medias, Oil Paintings or Acrylics.
