Tags

In this painting I was inspired by the historical sites, portraying the people of North Carolina in their environment, representing a time and history of our beautiful state.

” The motif of the human figure in a dialogue with natures light and colors.” A lady dressed in white in her southern plantation garden.

Instructions:

1. Start by drawing the lady, landscape and house.
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, trees, house, the lady, and reflections in the garden water pond. 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.

Jesus With Samaritan Woman Painting

Tags

Cary, Clina Polloni, Durham, Jesus Portrait, NC, North Carolina, Oil paintings, Painting Classes, Raleigh, Wake Forest

“Jesus With Samaritan Woman”. 

I did this painting based on an old painting done by my great-aunt, when she was a little girl and my great-grandfather Antonio Polloni was teaching her to paint.

Jesus had to go through Samaria. So he came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon. A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink”. The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?” Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, Give me a drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

Thank you Jesus for all you have given us,

Clina

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.

Buffy Pet Portrait Progression and Supply

Tags

Cary, Durham, Franklinton, North Carolina, Painting Classes, Pet Portraits, Raleigh, Wake Forest

An oil portrait of a Gold Labrador Retriever.

When I was commissioned to paint Buffy’s Pet Portrait, I was fascinated by the beauty of this Gold Labrador Retriever. The expression of her eyes was all about love and caring for her family.  Painting her eyes and the many colors of his hair was a wonderful experience. I put her in a background of white snow because she loved to play in it.

Canvas: 16″x20″

Instructions and Progression:

1. Draw and paint the under-paint: It was done in acrylics because they dry faster and it gives you the opportunity to paint immediately. Use Raw Sienna mixed with Titanium White.
2. Paint the background: Start by painting the snow using oil painting.
3. Start up with Buffy’s face: Put special detail in the eyes, hair and nose. It will give you a better understanding of her features.
4. Paint Buffy’s body: Taking advantage of the texture and the many gold tones of her hair.

Colors:

1. Titanium White
2. Flesh, Portrait Pink or Pale Pink
3. Cadmium Yellow Light
4. Cadmium Yellow Medium
5. Yellow Ochre
6. Raw Sienna
7. Burnt Sienna
8. Van Dyck Brown
9. Royal Blue
10. Prussian Blue
11. Ivory Black

Brushes, multi-purpose, polyvalent, from the finest 0 to 6.
For Oil paintings, the best media is Refined Linseed Oil with Refined Turpentine. To clean the brushes Turpernoi. Glass container to mix media.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2016

Cary, Child Portrait, Clina Polloni, Durham, Franklinton, Merry Christmas, NC, North Carolina, Oil paintings, Raleigh, Wake Forest

To all our dear friends and family,

We are very thankful for all the good things that God have given us in this year of 2016:

The family is in good health and the grand children are growing happy in their young lives.

I went to Chile in September to spent some time with my mother, she is stable and doing well with the dedicated care of the nurses. Also visited family and friends enjoying time together.

The studio and house are finished with a warm inauguration of family and friends. We have had many gatherings, either cooking outside or inside with American and a variety of international food.

Finally the family, friends and students have a place to get together, to paint and share good times together, overwhelm with creativity and inspirational ideas. Also the paintings are displayed in the studio. I have participated in different exhibitions including the Tar River Festival, Franklin County Art Council, Renaissance Centre in Wake Forest and Christmas Art Show at The Civic Gallery of the Wesleyan Dunn Center.

On July 29, 2016 I became an American Citizen. With the support of Thom, the Naturalization Oath Ceremony was very emotional, I am so proud to be an American Citizen!!!

The painting in the Christmas card is the “The Nativity” by Deb Allen.

This Christmas card is dedicated to the memory of Deb Allen, a mother, grandmother and an excellent artist. Her art and love will remain in our family as a treasure for every body to appreciate and enjoy.

We wish you love, happiness and health together with your family on this beautiful Christmas.

 Thomas Allen and Clina Polloni Allen
