Painting alla prima is an exciting wet-on-wet oil painting technique that is rapid and painterly. Loose, colorful, and impressionistic brushwork defines this style, and it is as popular today as in days past. This is a perfect class for the serious beginner and the experienced painter alike. Revisit classic painting methods while breaking out into bold and loose brushwork that is open to individual creativity and interpretation. Come with an open mind and relaxed attitude to transcend some old ideas and habits about representational painting.
