Another new technique used for oils today. This week is all about the Still Life. Also, all of the paintings this week are Ala Prima style, which is wet-wet all in one sitting. This one also had a limited palette. Yellow, Red, Blue, White and Black. So all colors were mixed from the basics. Done on 11"×14" canvas.
Thank you, Jim @1kidneyJD . I had to look it up also, the first time I heard the term. I’ll keep sharing new knowledge as I learn it. I have two more paintings in Ala Prima to do this week and another charcoal on the list.
I really like it. Especially your Christmas cactus. I’m too lazy to look it up again. I can’t recall what A la prima means. Feel free to define it. Lol
Hello VI friends. I’ve been out and away from my art work (regrettably) due to multiple issues. I was able to get back to some painting this weekend. I did 2 still life paintings, both Alla Prima Style on 11"x14" canvases. Did one Friday and one today. Felt a little rusty, but glad to get some paint brushes in my hands again.
