Blue Door in a Log Cabin

Painting Class Taught by Artist Clina Polloni.

Blue Door in a Log Cabin

A log cabin with a blue door embraced by a pink bougainvillea from the beautiful mountains of North Carolina.

This is a simple paint designed for the painting classes.

Instructions of how to do this painting:

Start by drawing the log cabin, the door, the chair and finally the bougainvillea. Put attention to the interesting shapes of the old wood.
Do your under-paint or imprimatura with a wash of silver acrylic and white. Acrylics are very good for under-painting because they dry faster. The under paint is very important because you are drawing with colors and defining light and shade in your final painting. The imprimatura is an initial stain of color painted on the canvas. It provides a transparent, toned ground, which will allow light falling onto the painting to reflect through the paint layers.

Blue Door in a Log Cabin Under-Paint

Progression, start painting in the following order because it is going to be easier for you:

Using oils or acrylics, start painting the log cabin. Continue with the door, chair and stone floor.
Paint the bougainvillea in the top.
Sign your work of art.

Supply: This painting can be done in 2 medias, Oil Paintings or Acrylics.

Learn to Paint A Pet Portrait. Progression and Supply.

By Artist Clina Polloni.

Gold Labrador Retriever Portrait

Buffy was a Gold Labrador Retriever.

When I was commissioned to paint Buffy’s oil 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″x 20″

Instructions and Progression:

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.
Paint the background: Start by painting the snow using oil painting.
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.
Paint Buffy’s body: Taking advantage of the texture and the many gold tones of her hair.
