Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, Palm Beach, FL.
Original oil painting by Clina Polloni.
Oil on Canvas, 18”x 24”
“It was a beautiful sunset in Palm Beach Florida. A transition from blues, to yellows and oranges. And in the center standing tall was the red Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse.”
Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Painting
The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse is located in Palm Beach, Florida, on the north side of the Jupiter Inlet. Standing at 108′. The site for the lighthouse was chosen in 1853. It is located between Cape Canaveral Light and Hillsboro Inlet Light.
Instructions, this painting can be done in acrylics or oils:
- Start by drawing the lighthouse, sky and trees.
- Do your under-paint or imprimatura with a wash of acrylic gold. Acrylics are very good for under-painting because they dry faster. They create a worm color that once you put the oils or acrylics in the top, they look brighter.
Start painting in the following order because it is going to be easier for you:
- Using oils or acrylics, start painting the sky with the beautiful sunset.
- Continue with the lighthouse, landscape with palm trees, trees and bushes.
- Sign your work of art.
