OIL PAINTING - TECHNIQUE - Painting from Life Peony #1

Description: This is an oil painting demonstration showing an alla prima sketch of peonies painted from life in about 5 hours.  Painting flowers like this from life seems impossible - but it’s not.  Painting from life is easier than painting from photos, feels good, looks good, and gives you shinier hair. (It doesn’t give you shinier hair).

Lisa Gloria demonstrates her “plan of attack” for painting even complex flowers from life, alla prima.

Here are all the pictures from the video!  Enjoy!
