How To Paint A White Adobe Church

Tags

Adobe Church, Cary, Clina Polloni, Franklinton, Landscape, NC, North Carolina, Oil paintings, Raleigh, Wake Forest

This painting was inspired by my life in Rabones, a valley of dreams located in the mountains of the central region of Chile.

I lived for 10 years in our farm called “Las Puertas de Rabones”. I was close to God, to nature and to animals. Memories of golden sunny days, enjoying the company of beautiful people with spirits as clear as the crystal waters of “Rio Putagan” running through the fertile land. I learned about their culture, their traditions and the purity of their lives. Visit http://www.clinapolloni.com/paintings_of_rabones.html

Instructions:

1. Start by drawing the church and landscape.
2. Give a soft coat of acrylic gold to the church and silver for the sky. Acrylics are very good for under-painting, they creates a worm color that once you put the oils in the top, they look brighter.
3. Next paint with oils sky, grass, clouds, church, mountain and land.
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.

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

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2016

Tags

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
