Seascape, Aurora in a Silver Ocean.

Original oil painting by Clina Polloni.

Oil on Canvas 24”x 30”.

“The first lights of a summer morning brighten the silver ocean of Emerald Isle North Carolina. I was inspired to paint this seascape when walking my doggy at 6:00am. A peaceful harmony of silvery blues.”

Seascape-Aurora in a Silver Ocean

Seascape-Aurora in a Silver Ocean

Emerald Isle is part of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast. Located in the southernmost part of the Outer Banks, an amazing 200-mile stretch of barrier islands.

Instructions of how to do this painting:

  1. Start by drawing the ocean and sky.
  2. Do your under-paint or imprimatura with a wash of acrylic 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 with oils or acrylics in the following order because it is going to be easier for you:

  1. Paint sky, ocean and beach.
  2. Sign your work of art.

Painting Class taught by Clina Polloni. “A Colonial Kitchen”

Still Life Painting on Burlap

Still Life Painting on Burlap

I called this painting “A Colonial Kitchen” because it was done at the Riverbend Park in Louisburg NC, inspired by my dear friend of “The River of Yesteryears” festival.

Learn to draw and paint on a burlap canvas instruction:

  1. Draw the still life with a soft charcoal pencil from number 555 to 557 or 4B in the burlap canvas.
  2. Do your under-paint or imprimatura with a heavy coat of acrylics to smooth the burlap, using Yellow Ochre and Ivory Black. Put attention to lights and shadows. 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.
  3. Continue painting with oils or acrylics with the final colors. Blend these colors gracefully to create lights and shadows.

Shelley Lake Painting

Painting Class Taught by Clina Polloni.

Painting Class-Shelley Lake Raleigh NC

Painting Class-Shelley Lake Raleigh NC

Learn to paint reflections in the water.

It was a beautiful autumn day and the students and I went to the lake with our picnic, canvases and brushes and painted plein air.

Plein Air is about leaving the studio behind and experience drawing and painting the landscape outside.
When the weather is bad, we teach Plein Air classes inside. You will learn how to prepare your canvas, how to draw and paint your under-paint and finish your painting. Techniques, textures and colors.

For classes information click here >>

The Shelley Lake is located in Raleigh, North Carolina, with wooded trails along a scenic lake. A perfect place to feel inspired to create plain air paintings and enjoy the outdoors.

Instructions:

  1. Start by drawing with a pencil, putting attention to the reflections of the trees in the water.
  2. Paint the sky, but at the same time paint the water, because the water is a reflection of the sky.
  3. Paint the trees in the background, and at the same time, copy the trees in the water in an opposite way. The water is like a mirror to the trees.
  4. Start painting the trunk and branches of the trees.
  5. Finish your painting by doing the leaves, dirt and bushes.
  6. Sign your work of art.
