Painting alla prima

I’ve painted pictures in oils for many years but it has always taken a long time and the more it is worked the less impressive the colours are due to the mixing of them on the picture. I initially wanted to do a video but unfortunately my camera battery ran out so I decided to take a series of photo shots highlighting the stages of my workings. This may prove useful for others who may wish to have a try at this.

 

 

Vase of crysanth’s  is the subject I chose to paint as the colours can be obtained from a limited palette
