Description
Join Art Guild of Louisiana artists, Nanci Charpentier and David Gary, for an afternoon intensive Alla Prima oil painting workshop. “Alla Prima” means “all at once”. You will be guided through a fun, fast, and ‘no fuss’ approach to oil painting. You will learn a systematic approach to color mixing, color and value judgment, simplification, quick methods to lay in your subject, and working from the general to specific. Join us and experience this fun intro to the fast-paced Alla Prima painting technique and its gestural mark-making qualities.
