New alla prima work

Hi
usually in between longer and more detailed work I do smaller and faster alla prima studies from live setup and without photos. It is a very different way of working, bigger brushes and very refreshing here are a few from last couple of weeks here you can see more https://www.arizanovic.com/

These are wonderful Zoran! I too enjoy alla prima works between more invested works. It’s a great way to spruce up some skills we might not be using as much with other work. Thank you for sharing here!

Hey Zoran,

Nice job! Alla prima is great! Love the neutral green you are using. Looks like chromium oxide green?

yes Nanci thanks, I use chromoxide, permanent light green and terra verte from old holland, lots of times for nature greens I also mix yellows and ochres with blues and blacks to get nice green
this day for orchid painting was very overcast and dark and I have asian rice paper on window so its all diffuse

I never tried the Asian rice paper. Great idea! I have a soft box, so I used take off the white diffuser when I need to get the soft shadows when I did a still life…which I haven’t done in a long time. Overdue!

yes I always put those on where we live since student days , its cheap looks nice and clean and also disperses light nicely I glue some wood stick from model building shop on the end for weight and it works nicely
