Dimensional Perspective 1 Vanishing Point.

How to Paint Dimensional Perspective.

Taught by Clina Polloni.

You can learn and do this painting class at home in this difficult time of the Coronavirus. Follow the instructions:

Dimensional Perspective Drawing

Dimensional Perspective Drawing

This autumn painting is illustrated by the concept of convergence. Which are lines that moves into the distance and converge on a vanishing point. Our eyes perceive the world around us in three dimensions. To create this three-dimensional effect, we have to draw perspective that consist on a horizon line, where your eyes are looking to a vanishing point or two or three vanishing points. In this painting we only have one in the center of the horizon.

Picture #1: Start by drawing the horizon line, draw a vanishing point in the center (mark with a red dot). From this red dot, start drawing lines to the outside of the canvas, to the left and the right. 2 lines for the base of the trees. 2 lines for the road. 2 lines for the top of the trees. Continue by drawing the trees following the perspective lines.

Dimensional Perspective with Human Figure Drawing

Dimensional Perspective with Human Figure Drawing

Picture #2: Draw a human figure looking at the horizon and start painting the autumn trees, road and grass. Painting the background images first is a lot easier.

Picture #3: Paint the human figure and sign your painting.

Memories of a White House Landscape

A Painting Inspired by a Poem.

Painting Class Taught by Artist Clina Polloni.

Memories of a White House Landscape

Memories of a White House Landscape

This landscape was created for the painting classes. I wrote a poem about this old couple living in the middle of the city, surrounded by buildings. My office was in one of these buildings where I could see from my window the old couple. Spring of 1999. Raleigh NC.

Instructions:

  1. Start by drawing the house and landscape with a pencil.
  2. Paint the under-paint with a mixture of Titanium White and Cerulean Blue. More blue in the sky, white in the house and both in the landscape. The best media to do your under-paint is acrylics because they dry faster. The under paint is very important because you are defining your drawing with colors and defining light and shade in your final painting.
  3. Paint the sky and clouds first. House next and landscape last.
  4. Enjoy finishing your painting. You can use acrylics or oils.
  5. Sign your work of art.

Poem:

“Memories of a White House”

White was the house
green were the trees
memories of a long life left behind
the noise of activity, every day rush was gone…
long ago.

The only thing left was the old couple
in the silence of age,
embraced on a clear spring morning
by the friendly music of their birds
and the bright colors of fresh flowers.
