With a focus on the art of still life, this class explores the Alla prima method, meaning tp finish a painting in one sitting. Through this practice, you will learn about color and tonal harmonies, perspective, application of paint and composition. You will also develop concentration, intensity of working, and decision making, through specific exercises, while painting.
