Demonstrating painting alla prima using the yellow day lily as reference.

As oil painting was an example done in 2-90 minutes sessions, I have tried to keep true to the genre of getting the painting completed quickly and in one go.
Being the perfectionist that I am, I know how much better this lily will look with just a bit of touching up, so I won't let it get out the studio just yet.
Come back later to see my finishing touches, but as for now, I must let it rest and dry.
Well, later is NOW! Check out the completed work here!
Painting in Oils the yellow daylily. Finale!
Of coarse, re-touching this painting will negate it as being an alla prima, but that's ok.
What oil painting tried to do here is show you just how much you can get and do with this medium we call oil paint. Hopefully, you now have a better understanding of painting alla prima, and what you can achieve using this method!

till later!
