        3-hour alla prima sketch of Billie Eilish :)
        painted from photograph (obviously :lol:) but treated it as if it’s from life.

                Very cool.
                I actually just got into her music two days ago so it is cool that I saw this thread.
                I was skeptical at first but I like her music.

                May I ask, what medium (if any) do you use for alla prima?
                I tried alla prima for the first time yesterday and used Galkyd slow.
                I was wondering if Galkyd lite would be okay to use for this method of painting.

                            Thanks Mario. I used odourless mineral spirit for the initial wash, then no medium after that.

                                            Haha thanks…fortunate to live in this era of information I guess, I have learned from my favorite artists… Sargent, Zorn, Schmid, Lipking etc. even though I haven’t met any of them :lol:
