Gold Pear Painting, Instructions and Supply

Tags

Cary, Clina Polloni, Durham, Franklinton, NC, North Carolina, Painting a Pear, Painting Classes, Raleigh, Wake Forest

This painting was created for the painting classes, is a simple and charming painting of a Gold Pear. A perfect exercise for learning to blend, a technique that is vey important in acrylic or oil painting.

This variety of pear is referred to as a Taylor’s Golden or simply the Gold Pear. Similar to the Comice Pear in appearance, the Gold Pear has a smooth outer skin that is thin and easily broken that covers a sweet white, juicy inner flesh which provides a pleasantly sweet aroma.

Click on the image to see a larger painting >>

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. Including the table and shade of the pear.
4. Enjoy doing your painting, blending the gold colors of the pear.
5. Sign your work of art

The Market Girl, Oil painting of Hispanic Culture.

Tags

Cary, Clina Polloni, Durham, flowers, Franklinton, Hispanic Culture, NC, Painting Classes, Painting of Ecuador, Raleigh, Wake Forest

18”x24” by Clina Polloni.

The Market Girl. In the Hispanic culture it is a tradition to go to the market, where the local people brings their fresh fruits, vegetables and craft. This girl is proud to show her flowers and vegetables with her colorful hand netted ponchos in the back.

I did this painting when I went to Ecuador. Inspired by their colorful art and culture, very similar to most of the countries in South America. People live in the cosmopolitan cities surrounded by malls and a variety of today modern stores. But the beautiful thing is that they are trying to preserve their culture.

This painting was exhibited at the Franklin County Art Council, NC. For the 2018 5 de Mayo Celebration of the Hispanic Culture.

Clina Polloni is a contemporary artist born in Chile, winner of the Franklin County Art Council, NC. 2017 Artist Award. 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 people in their environment and activities, representing the American and Hispanic Culture.
