Alla prima is a painting technique where wet paint is applied to wet paint in a single session. The Italian phrase translates to "at once" or "in one go". It's also known as "wet-on-wet" or "direct painting".

Alla prima aims to capture the spontaneity and freshness of the moment and lends itself to thickly applied impasto and expressive brush work. This class is suitable for beginners or for those who have some experience but are looking for a simple and focussed understanding of the nuts and bolts of oil painting. It is ideal for Plein air painters who are looking to build upon their skill set. Class begins with a demo, where we will explore the elemental steps from Drawing, Design, Value, Color and Creative oil painting techniques and tools. With an understanding of these principles, students will be better equipped to meet the challenges of Alla Prima painting, and thereby, better able to express themselves as artist.
