Painting Workshop with Clina Polloni

Seascape for the painting classes by Clina Polloni. Lazy summer days seating in the warm sand of Emerald Isle, looking at a sail boat going by. Emerald Isle is part of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast.

This painting was created for the painting classes, is a simple and charming painting for a person that is starting to paint and wants to learn about the beach, reflections of a boat sailing and sand dunes.
