I setup a temporary studio at home this week to do a practice oil study piece for a workshop I was teaching about stormy seascapes, using alla prima techniques.
Alla prima means to paint 'first time' or 'in one go'. If you are using oil paints this will require a fair amount of painting wet into wet. This technique is very well suited to plein air work where you are working quickly to record a scene - in one go.
The alla prima oil study in the video, is on canvas measuring 16" x 10" and is of high tide with a stormy sea at Porthleven Cornwall.
The colors used were:
Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow, Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Orange, Naples Yellow, Raw Umber, Violet, Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Blue, Manganese Blue and Ivory Black.
I began by mixing turpentine with the paint. As the painting progressed I used little to no turps with the paint.
Thanks for watching - all the best - Andrew
