Cooking On An Open Fire NC, Oil painting 30″x40″ by Clina Polloni

I am doing a collection of paintings of ”Colonial People of North Carolina”. Inspired by the historical sites that we had visited with my husband Thom. I have a great admiration of the pioneers that came to this land, with dreams and hopes of a new home in North Carolina. Life was so difficult, they had to clear the forest to plant their food. Built their homes and provide their families with a productive and healthy life.

Clina Polloni is a contemporary artist born in Chile. Her oil paintings are inspired by her love for people, animals and nature. Her new project: “The motif of the human figure in a dialogue with natures light and colors.” In these new paintings she is portraying the people of North Carolina in their environment and activities, representing the colonial times and history of our state.

Instructions of how to do this painting:

1. Start by drawing the ladies 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.

Start painting with oils in the following order because it is going to be easier for you:

2. Using oils, start painting the background, stones and wall.
3. Using oils paint the skin, blending light and shade to the color of the skin. Paint the f
   eatures of the face, hands and foot.
4. Paint hair and clothes.
5. Paint open fire, cooking dishes and food.
6. Sign your work of art.

 Painting of two sisters sharing their love with red poppies. From the collection of the Colonial People of North Carolina.

Instructions:

1. Start by drawing the sisters and landscape.
2. Give a soft coat of acrylic gold to the canvas. Gold is very good for under-painting, it creates a worm color that once you put the oils or acrylics in the top, they look brighter.
3. Next paint landscape, starting with the sky, grass, house, trees and finally red poppies. You can do it with oil paintings or acrylics.
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.
Oil Paintings: You can buy them at Michael’s, ACMoore, but again the most affordable ones are at Jerry’s Arterama and their brand is LUKAS.

Colors: 

1. Titanium White
2. Flesh, Portrait Pink or Pale Pink
3. Cadmium Red Medium
4. Cadmium Red Light
5. Alizarin Crimson
6. Cadmium Yellow Light
7. Yellow Ochre
8. Gold
9. Raw Sienna
10. Burnt Sienna
11. Van Dyck Brown
12. Cerulean Blue
13. Ultramarine Blue
14. Sap Green
15. Dioxazine Purple
16. Ivory Black

Brushes, multi-purpose, polyvalent. There is a 10pc “Artist’s Loft” that provides most of the brushes for the beginning or the Pro Stroke-Power Creative Mark of Jerry’s Arterama.
