How To Begin An Oil Painting, Alla Prima + Color Mixing Basics (Zorn Palette)

This is Part 3 of How to Begin An Oil Painting, the Alla Prima Method. Alla Prima, also known as direct painting or wet-on-wet, is a common and contemporary practice for oil painting. In this video, we will discuss its history and methodology as we set-up and run through the painting process in a demonstration from beginning to end. I also discuss and demonstrate the basics of mixing oil colors and the set-up of two different options for color palettes all while using the Zorn palette. And finally, I run through how to use and create with the Zorn palette. My materials list and oil color palette are described below. Please remember, everyone-- even a bad day painting is still a great day! Thanks for watching and enjoy! This video is meant for all skill levels.
