This class will be focusing on the the wet-on-wet approach, also known as Alla Prima, where you apply a new layer of oil paint on a still-wet layer rather than waiting for the paint to dry before applying the next, usually finishing a painting in no more than three hours.
In each session we will discuss different elements of alla prima painting as well as problem solving to address common mistakes as they arise. Each class will begin with a demonstration which will cover topics like set up, paint handling, composition, organization of shapes and values, creating convincing forms, edges, and basic understanding of color. A different painting will be done each session.
