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.

Sunset in Bald Head Island, NC, Painting, Instructions and Supply.

Tags

Bald Head Island, Cary, Clina Polloni, Durham, Franklinton, Landscape, NC, North Carolina, Painting Classes, Raleigh, Wake Forest

When the sun sets in the island, a harmony of purples to oranges is an inspiration, is a vision for any artist to portrait in a canvas.

Through the years, the island has been a breeding ground for wild hog and fox, a nesting ground for loggerhead turtles, a prime hangout for bootleggers, a Civil War fort. Pirates, lighthouse keepers, Indians, river pilots, soldiers, farmers, and entrepreneurs of all types have come and gone, and yet, the island’s essence is unchanged. This can only be because the island itself is a living thing, with its own integrity, spirit and its wild beauty.

Instructions:

1. Start by drawing, positioning each element in the canvas.
2. Do your under-paint or imprimatura with gold, using acrylic because they dry faster, also in this painting, gold gives a rich color for a sunset. Draw the tree trunk and grass with black acrylic.
3. With oils or acrylics, start painting the orange clouds.
4. Continue by painting the grass and purple sky.
5. Finish your purple clouds, paint leaves and finish grass with high lights of green and yellow.
6. Sign your work of art.

This is a sunset of the beautiful Oconaluftee River that flows through The Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.

The Oconaluftee River is an inspiration for painting because of its beauty and legends. The Cherokee Indians considered the waters of the Oconaluftee River sacred. It was the deeper part of the river, where all the animals came to wash and heal their wounds when they had been hurt by hunters.

How to Paint Dimensional Perspective

Tags

Cary, Clina Polloni, Dimensional Perspective, Durham, Franklinton, Landscape, NC, North Carolina, Painting Classes, Raleigh, Wake Forest

Taught by Clina Polloni in the painting classes. This painting was done by Labannya Samanta, a student.

This autumn painting is illustrated by the concept of convergence. Which are lines that moves into the distance and converge on a vanishing point.

Our eyes perceive the world around us in three dimensions. To create this three dimensional effect we have to draw perspective that consist on a horizon line, where your eyes are looking and a vanishing point or two or three vanishing points. In this painting we only have one in the center of the horizon.

Picture #1: Start by drawing the horizon line, draw a vanishing point in the center (mark with a red dot). From this red dot, start drawing lines to the outside of the canvas, to the left and the right. 2 lines for the base of the trees. 2 lines for the road. 2 lines for the top of the trees. Continue by drawing the trees following the perspective lines.

Picture #2: Draw a human figure looking at the horizon and start painting the autumn trees, road and grass. Painting the background images first is a lot easier

Picture #3: Paint the human figure and sign your painting.
