Alla Prima Portrait Painting

Summary

Learn a looser approach to painting portraits using the Alla Prima technique!  Alla Prima is an Italian phrase that means “at first attempt”.  This is a wet on wet approach of finishing the entire painting within one sitting allowing for spontaneity and directness.
