The alla prima sketch gives us a deeper understanding of our materials, teaches is to be more fearless in our longer work, and creates a low pressure state for us to experiment and find happy accidents.

Even for the more indirect painter, alla prima sketches are pure gold for getting mileage and finding our voice.
Skill level:
- Alla prima sketching is good for all skill levels
Format
Live zoom class meeting Saturdays starting Oct 17th, from 10am - 1pm PST for 5 weeks - I'll be painting a demo each class and you'll paint along using the same reference. Individual feedback will be given at the beginning of each class for those enrolled in the Feedback tier. Â
All class sessions will be recorded so you can watch or re-watch on your own time. Class recordings will be available for 30 days after the last class. Â
Students in the Feedback tier will receive paint-over feedback at the beginning of each class, ask questions during class and participate in discussion.
Students in the Audit tier get the same benefits as the Feedback tier, only their work doesn't get feedback from the instructor each week.
