Thank you both so much! It's nice to hear, since, like I'd said, I'm technically a beginner at the
alla prima thing.
I teach at the New Hampshire Institute of Art (
site) in both BFA and Lifelong Learning (fancy talk for continuing ed) programs. I log as many hours, if not more than, full time teachers, but they will never confer that title upon me (nor allow me to teach more than 2 BFA classes), since I do not have an MFA. So, I remain an adjunct faculty member.
I also teach at Sanctuary Arts here in Maine (
site), which is a privately-owned art school. All this teaching takes up a lot of my time, and I wish I could paint more of my own work - especially now that I'm getting a few sales - but it could be worse.
There's a step by step demo of a portrait in the demo section of this site (
link), done at NHIA. Not
alla prima, but pretty loose, for me.
