How to Paint Red Geraniums in a Stone House.

Tags

Cary, Clina Polloni, Durham, Franklinton, Landscape, NC, NC Colonial Houses, North Carolina, Painting Classes, Raleigh, Red Geraniums, Wake Forest

“Red Geraniums in a Stone House, NC”.
Oil painting 16″x20″ by Clina Polloni.

Traveling through the beautiful mountains of North Carolina, I was inspired to paint this colonial stone house with the red geraniums in the window.

This is a simple painting that would be good to learn in the painting class.

The “Red Geraniuns in a Stone House, NC” painting is FOR SALE at the Sugar Magnolia Cafe in Wake Forest, NC:
https://www.sugarmagnoliacafe.com/

Instructions of how to do this painting:

1. Draw a 2″ border around the painting.
2. Start by drawing the window, geraniums, door, stones and tree in the front, defining the light and the shade. Look at image. Click the images to view a large painting >>
3. Do your under-paint or imprimatura with a wash of gold acrylic. 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 in the following order because it is going to be easier for you:

1. Using oils or acrylics, start painting the stones, window and door.
2. Paint the red geraniums and leaves in the front.
3. Last, paint the tree in the front.
4. Sign your work of art.

Supply:

Canvas: 16″x20″

Colors:

1. Titanium White
2. Gold

14. 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. Also Wal-Mart has some fine and medium gold taklon brushes.
For Oil paintings, the best media is Refined Linseed Oil with Refined Turpentine. To clean the brushes Turpernoi. I have some glass containers to mix media.

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.
