Agenda


🕑: 01:00 PM
Introduction & Demo

Info: Alla Prima Technique: Define "alla prima" (wet-on-wet), its spontaneous, direct nature—emphasis on painting in a single sitting.


Primary Palette: Introduce the eight-color palette (warm/cool red, yellow, blue + black/white)



🕑: 01:15 PM - 01:30 PM
Color Mixing Exercise

Info: Warm + Warm = vibrant, intense mixtures

Cool + Cool = often more subtle, harmonious blends

Warm + Cool = risk of neutralizing colors or creating “mud”


Complementary Mixing:

Show how to create neutral grays by mixing opposites (red/green, blue/orange, yellow/purple) with the limited palette


Demonstrate how this builds a richer understanding of color temperature and control



🕑: 01:15 PM - 01:30 PM
Looking Like an Artist

Info: Help students see the still life as shapes, values, and color—not “just” as familiar objects.



🕑: 01:30 PM - 03:00 PM
Painting Session

Info: Step 1: Block-in large value shapes first (no details!)

Step 2: Mid-stage refine color temperature, check relationships

Step 3: Final Pass add detail or edges only where it matters


Encourage loose beginnings, gradually working toward clarity



🕑: 03:00 PM
Reflection and Clean-up
