What is the Wet on Wet Method?
The wet-on-wet method or Alla Prima style allows the beginner painter to complete a painting in a short amount of time. Traditional oil painting methods require that you wait between each color for the oil to dry. That is the genius of the wet-on-wet method, that you can mix the perfect color on the canvas. Blending the colors in this way actually mimics the beauty of nature. Come to a class and create your own masterpiece!
