Alla Prima painting sketch of peaches. Alla Prima consists of three layers of oil paint: A quick composition sketch, a quick dark color layer and a top layer, all done at one sitting, while the paint is still wet. This is a fun activity using transparent paints on the second layer and a top layer of opaque paints. In this exercise I tried to use the under layer in the bowl as complete without covering it in opaque paint : hoping to give the painting a feeling of immediacy, The peaches were created using brush and paper towel for that light, fuzzy look to the peaches, The dark underlayer also can be seen in the core section. The napkin and the background are treated in a loose manner to contrast with the peaches. The color choice was using complementary colors of blue and orange and purple and yellow. * the photo used was by Rita Paradis and the painting created at a workshop with artist Rita Paradis.
