FREE! Oil Painting Demo with Karen McClelland January 8th
Karen will be doing a demo in the direct painting method. Direct painting (also known as alla prima) refers to a method by which the artist applies each stroke of paint with the intention of having it stand as the final stroke. There is very little retouching or over painting done after the paint from the first sitting has dried. This is an opaque painting technique used by the Impressionist in their early work. Direct painting relies on more planning because artist must consider form, color and value simultaneously. Artist use this technique when they want a fresh and spontaneous look to their paintings.
