Held in The Queen’s Temple at Stowe, students will paint from a live models. Alla Prima means “at first attempt” in Italian, and involves direct paint application, without too much blending, and favours the display of brushstrokes. This workshop addresses drawing, tone and colour as applied to this swift method of painting.
Students will work on 5 different portraits over 5 days. The alla-prima approach allows them to paint one portrait a day. Each day will present students with a new pose and model, to enable a variety of portraits. The size of each portrait will be smaller than life size, to allow a faster covering of the painted surface (approx. 20x30cm/ 8”x12”).
The course runs for 6 hours daily.
Instruction is by individual critique, so students will receive guidance at their individual level of expertise.
