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.
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.

Canvas: 16″x20″

Gold
Silver

 Oil paintings:

1. Titanium White
2. Cadmium Yellow Light
3. Yellow Ochre
4. Raw Sienna
5. Burnt Sienna
6. Van Dyck Brown
7. Cerulean Blue
8. Ultramarine Blue
9. Sap Green
10. Dioxazine Purple
11. 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.
For Oil paintings, the best media is Refined Linseed Oil with Refined Turpentine. To clean the brushes Turpernoi. Glass container to mix media.
Easel (a simple table metal easel is fine).
Paper towel, Pencil to draw.
Plastic plate to mix colors or a Paper Palette. SOHO has a very reasonable paper palette at Jerry’s Arterama.

This painting was inspired by mountains and landscape of North Carolina. A simple painting created for the painting classes.

3) Now you can start the painting. It can be done with oils or acrylics. First is the mountains, second the grass, walkway and flowers. Finally the leaves of the tree with shades of greens for light and shading.

Casa de Paja, The Straw House Oil Painting.

Tags

Art Exhibition, Casa de Paja, Clina Polloni, Hispanic Culture, Hispanic Heritage, Landscape, NC, North Carolina, Oil paintings, Raleigh, Rocky Mount, Wake Forest, Wilson

Casa de Paja, a straw farm house painting in Chile by Clina Polloni.

In the early years of Chile, even in the 1800’s, farmers planted their wheat in the fields. This was one of their most important source of food. They baked their bread in an open fire, prepared mote con huesillos and other culinary dishes. And when the harvest was all over, they built their thatched houses with straw.

I did this painting from a sketch that my great grandfather, Antonio Polloni did when traveling and painting the country side of Chile in the 1800’s.

Antonio Polloni, my great-grandfather.
