Event details

One-day intensive focused on the traditional method of “Alla Prima”painting of the portrait from life in oil. “Alla Prima” is a direct painting technique that challenges the artist to apply distinct brush strokes with few revisions for a fresh impression of the subject.

The process will begin with a thin, umber notan or tonal drawing in paint, whereupon color is then applied with regard to light direction and its interaction with form. Students will complete one small portrait sketch. Basic color theory and paint handling will be covered.

*Model Fee Included
