Workshop | Alla Prima Portrait & Figure Painting with David Shelving at the Schoolhouse for Art
This class alternates between portrait and nude figure painting using an alla prima (wet-into-wet) approach. With demonstrations and time working from live models, you’ll focus on simplifying form, using economical brushwork, and understanding light and shadow. Key topics include proportion, value, colour mixing, and paint handling. Ideal for artists looking to loosen their style and paint with more confidence, clarity, and expression.
