Practicing Alla Prima painting helps us gain the ability to work with efficiency and precision. We will work with a combination of paintings, photos and/or models. Each student will receive individual critique and instruction each session. Since simplicity is one of the goals, we will be using a limited palette. We will focus on 4 main aspects of a portrait: Proportion, Value, Color, and Edge. Practicing this way month after month leads to greater confidence and proficiency.
