Workshop T11-02
March 28 - April 1, 2011
Location:  Toronto
Instructor: Juan Martinez

This new one-week workshop is designed for artists who want to learn the alla prima technique working from live models. Alla prima - which means "at once” - is a painting style that is done in a quickly-executed wet-into-wet fashion for faster results. Artists of all skill levels will have an opportunity to develop a good "vocabulary" for sketching from life, as well as delve into paint and brush handling for achieving a representational, realistic portrait in a more immediate way. Painters already using alla prima methods in other genres such as landscape, will also benefit from this workshop.

This intensive, 7 day still life workshop explores the use of light, colour, and texture in a style similar to the Dutch and Flemish masters. As students learn to paint a beautiful still life using classic methods, they are introduced to valuable Old Master concepts such as massing of tonal values, chiaroscuro, "selective focus”, and layering to achieve a luminous picture.
