Alla Prima Oil Painting Study | St Ives coastline, Cornwall

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Alla prima oil painting is direct and intentional. It is usually done in one session - such as en plein air painting. Studio based oil studies, like in today's video, are a great way to practice your alla prima technique ready for plein air painting.
This oil painting study was a practice piece in preparation for a larger painting of the same view. The amazing coastline of Cornwall is full of magnificent views and stunning light. I particularly love the morning light along the St Ives coastline. I am working on a new series of coastal paintings and drawings which I am very excited about.
I was using oils on newsprint paper (which will fade over time but it is only a practice painting!). I also mixed some linseed oil into the paint to help it flow as the paper absorbed the oil quite quickly.
The colours on my palette for this oil study were:
Warm White
Winsor Lemon
Lemon Yellow
Cadmium Yellow
Cadmium Red
Magenta
Terra Rosa
Indian Red
Raw Sienna
Raw Umber
Violet
Ultramarine Blue
Manganese Blue
Lamp Black

    Thank you Rachel. I started using Manganese blue as a cheaper alternative to Cerulean but now I prefer it

    Really like the 'scruffy' style of the study with all the dry moppy effects from the scrubbing with the round brush. I like that look, it's akin to the scaffolding around a building which often looks far more interesting than the clean look of the finished building. It's the structure of how it all knits together. Cheers Andrew, gave me a few ideas there.

    Like the combination of blues with manganese and other colors added ... Also noticed how you hold the brush far back and use all sides of brush to create spontaneous strokes throughout the painting with your personal color mixtures ... Looks like you made a great start on the larger one!
