"Wet-On-Wet" Painting
The Advanced Alla Prima painting classes allow oil painters to find their style! Make a flower last forever - paint it! Recreate a master work as the Old Masters did - in one sitting! Working alla prima (wet-on-wet) requires a clear understanding of the process of oil painting with an opportunity to express individual creativity. Studio alla prima instruction offers fixed variables (light and subject), making this introductory workshop a step towards painting outdoors, where the scene and light are transient ~ the ultimate level!

Advanced Level ~ All Prima Painting Class:
Requires four (4) Beginning Level or Intermediate Level programs to be completed as a prerequisite.

* All advanced level programs meet once a week for five consecutive weeks, totaling 17.5 hours of instruction.
* Maximum enrollment of 8 students.
* A wide variety of compositions for still-life subjects offers challenges.
* Learn spatial relationships, proportions and design.
* Understand color theory and values for creating light and shadow.
* Opportunity to test learned techniques and show competence.
* Wet-on-wet format encourages confidence and "getting loose."
