ALLA PRIMA.

After a terrible storm yesterday afternoon with thunder and lightning the sun is shining this morning. After a busy weekend with the family I’m having a day to relax so I’m painting a rose in alia prima.
 
Alla prima is a painting technique. It is also known as wet-on-wet. In this painting technique, the picture is completed mostly in one sitting by applying the wet paint on the previous layers of wet paint before it dries. The technique is applied mostly in oil paintings. In Italian, alla prima means at first attempt.
 
I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend and having a happy Monday.
