Description

NO CLASS NOVEMBER 11TH FOR VETERANS' DAY.

Alla prima, or "at first attempt" is a painting approach that emphasizes spontaneity, directness, and a fresh, vibrant quality is painting. Students will explore this exciting method through painting in their chosen medium of oil or acrylic. We will use a variety of subject matter including still life, landscape, portraiture & more to realize the full range of the alla prima technique. Students may bring their own reference material or work from the supplied references in class.
Each week will include a demo and a discussion followed by individual feedback while students work on their own paintings. We will cover basic fundamentals such as value, color, light, & more. This course is designed with students of all levels in mind, but some experience in drawing is encouraged.
