Alla Prima workshop this Saturday

















Upcoming workshop at the Grimsby Public Art Gallery:

Painting the Still Life Lively


 

Alla Prima (Italian, meaning at first attempt), may also be referred to as 'direct painting'. It is a method in which layers of wet paint are applied to previous layers of wet paint. This technique requires a fast way of working, and usually has to be finished before the first layers of paint have dried. Jan will demonstrate how to achieve a fresh and painterly effect that incorporates alla prima techniques. You will work from a colourful still life set up featuring seasonal foliage and interesting objects. This series is suitable for those with a general knowledge of paint handling. A material list will be provided upon registration.

Saturday October 5, 2013
From 1:30 – 4:30pm

  1. Bonjour,

    Une technique certainement pas très simple quand on est comme moi assez lente pour travailler...
    J'aime beaucoup cette merveilleuse composition florale. Pourquoi le titre de "maman" ? Est-ce un bouquet destiné à une maman ?...
    Une belle harmonie de couleurs.

    Gros bisous.
