Still Life, Red and Yellow Peppers.

Painting Class Taught by Artist Clina Polloni. 

Learn how to draw and paint a Still Life with Red and Yellow Peppers. Bright colors! The best ingredients to create an amazing painting.

Still Life-Red and Yellow Peppers Painting

Drawing instructions:

1. Divide your canvas in half, vertically and horizontally with a line. Blue lines 1 and 2 in sample.
2. In the right side, draw a vertical line in the position where you want to place your yellow pepper, line 3. In the center of these 2 lines draw line 4.
3. Draw an oval (line 5) for the structure of your yellow pepper attached to line 2 and 3. In the center and top of line 4 draw another small oval (line 6). From this oval start drawing the secondary folds of the structure formation of the pepper. Think about light and shade.
4. Duplicate the same process for your left pepper.

Still Life-Red and Yellow Peppers Drawing

Painting Instructions:

1. In this painting I did an under-paint of light yellow and light red with a lot of water to be absolved by the canvas, using 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.
2. Now you can paint the background. Select a background that you would like for the two combinations of the sample paintings. Paint table with the shading of the peppers.
3. Enjoy painting your red and yellow peppers. Put special attention to the blending of colors.

The Peppers Harvest Was Good This Year.

Autumn is here and is time to harvest the delicious peppers that my husband Thom planted, and the time for us to paint them.

Step 4

Instructions:

1. Start by drawing the composition of the painting, without details. Just position each element in the canvas. In this painting I was creating a circular composition, where every element circles around a yellow pepper.
2. Once you are happy with the composition, start drawing the peppers, thinking about light and shade.
3. In this painting I did the under paint 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.
