![]() |
Hello everyone and welcome for a new tutorial, in this video, I’m going to show you how I made this painting, alla prima, which means wet on wet, in a single painting session. I’m going to guide you through my process and more specifically, focus on the mindset of the alla prima approach. I’ll try to divide my process in 5 simple steps to help you in your own paintings.
Chapters: 00:00 Intro 00:55 Conceive 04:06 Start 07:26 Control 11:22 Relax 14:22 Finish Now, when I say easy steps, I’m not saying that they make painting easy but that they are easy to understand and start implementing in your method. After that, painting is never easy but at least, with these 5 steps in mind, it’s easy to just jump in and start painting.

I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation.
