Hi.
Welcome to the Flower Symphony online course.
In this course you can learn how to paint with color gels using the Alla Prima painting technique.
Also known as ‘direct painting’, ‘au premier coup’ or occasionally mistakenly as ‘wet-on-wet’, alla prima is a one-layer painting technique in which the painting (usually painted from life) is completed in one sitting or while the paint is still wet.
The term derives from an Italian phrase meaning ‘at first attempt’. It is mostly commonly used in oil painting, and is not suited to painting with acrylics because of their faster dry time, but we can use it in gel painting.
At the end of this course you will know:
how to choose the colors
