Has one of the most vibrant shells, with a greenish undercarriage. She is one of the three species that lay eggs on the coast of North Carolina.

There are only 7 species of sea turtles and six are endangered. Approximately 1 in 10,000 hatchlings live to adulthood. Depending on the species, it can take between 10 – 30 years before a sea turtle is sexually mature and can lay eggs. The female returns to the general area of her birth to lay her eggs after spending many years in open seas. It is estimated that a sea turtle lives as long as 80 years

Violet Tulip Drawing

The tulips are in bloom! Let’s learn how to draw with acrylics.

Drawing with Acrylics by Clina Polloni.

Violet Tulip Drawing

Violet Tulip Drawing

Instructions of this drawing:

  1. Draw with pencil first to create a general composition of your painting.
  2. In this drawing I used acrylics Magenta and Sap Green with lots of water for the light areas and less water for the darker areas, be sure to impregnate your canvas, don’t leave spots without paint. Acrylics are very good for under-painting because they dry faster. They create a worm color that once you finish your final painting with oils or acrylics in the top, they look brighter.
  3. In this painting I did a border to make a more interesting composition.

Canvas: 20″x 24″

Acrylic Colors:

  1. Sap Green
  2. Magenta

There are many affordable brushes in the market:
Walmart: FolkArt, Gold Taklon, fine details and shading.
Michael’s: 10pc “Artist’s Loft” white synthetic brushes.
Jerry’s Arterama: Pro Stroke-Power Creative, fine and medium brushes.
Pencil
Easel (a simple table metal easel is fine).
Paper towel.
Plate to mix colors or a paper/plastic Palette. SOHO has a very reasonable paper palette at Jerry’s Arterama.
