Alla Prima Studies
Alla prima is Italian for "at the first" or "all at once". With this approach the painter strives to create a finished painting (or study) in one sitting. Alla prima paintings are often characteristic of unfinished areas and organic brush character. I enjoy doing these short portrait sketches both for practice, and for their sheer charm.
