Bald Head Lighthouse NC, known as Old Baldy, is the oldest lighthouse still standing in North Carolina. It is the second of three lighthouses that have been built on Bald Head Island since the 19th century to help guide ships past the dangerous shoals of the confluence of the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean.

To paint the Old Baldy follow the instructions:

  1. Start by drawing the lighthouse.
  2. Do your under-paint or imprimatura with a wash of acrylic gold and silver. Acrylics are very good for under-painting because they dry faster. They create 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 sky with the clouds.
  2. Continue with the lighthouse and the trees.
  3. Sign your work of art.
