Alla prima girl portrait in oil – Daria Callie
Daria Callie is a skilled artist who paints Alla Prima (also called “Wet on wet” technique or “Direct painting” method), this means that she complete the painting in one session, she creates the right mixtures of colour for each brushstrokes. This approach is quite difficult especially for beginners.
In this painting demo I’ll show how I paint a portrait with oils.
Oil on canvas, 30 x 30 cm (~12 x 12 inches)
Materials used:
• Oil paints – Gamblin Oil Colors and Nevskaya palitra (russian brand)
Colors: Burnt umber, Cadmium Yellow, Ultramarine Blue, Red and Titanium White. (I have a color-mixing video where I explain how I premix my palette) In addition I have a couple of colors that I use very rarely: Ivory Black, Celestial Blue and Cobalt Violet Deep.
• Primed linen canvas (from a local art-store)
• Paint thinner (odorless mineral spirits)
• Medium (stand linseed oil)
• Brushes – Detail brushes & Filbert synthetic brushes of different sizes
• Glass palette (homemade)
• Palette knife (from a local art-store)
• Varnish
• Paper towels (or tissues that I use to wipe the brushes)
