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.

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.
