Experimenting with oils alla prima




Oil on acrylic primed canvas



One of my first tries at alla prima oil painting and I probably should not have started this way. I was overwhelmed with all I had to think about!!  Edges, shapes, color, proportion, value!!!  Oh my!!  I really over blended the colors, left the edges too sharp, and lots of other mistakes!! But the picture looks pretty much like 2 natural looking apples!!  Next I want to try drawing in the subject first and possibly doing a grisaille.
