Painting Flowers: Alla Prima
Alla Prima is an Italian phrase that means "all at once." In this one-hour presentation, Helen demonstrates this
direct application of paint to interpret a bouquet of daisies. Starting with four marks on the canvas, to
indicate the outer reaches of her composition, she proceeds to build her painting, ending with the highlights.
Throughout this video, you will learn how Helen gets her paint moist and juicy, a look that has entranced
viewers of her TV show and live demonstrations. Helen Van Wyk is a fountain of information, never shying from
dispensing it to all those interested in painting better.
