Red Apple Painting Class

Painting Instructions:

1. In this painting I did an under-paint of Yellow Ochre 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, table and shading of apple in acrylics or oils.
3. Enjoy painting the apple. Put special attention to the blending of colors.

Cary, Clina Polloni, Durham, NC, Oil paintings, Painting Classes, Peppers, Raleigh, Wake Forest

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.
4. Enjoy doing your final painting. In this case I use oils because I love their bright colors and blending.
