Alla Prima Skies and Seas is a thorough guide to this exciting technique whereby paint is applied quickly over previous washes and layers of pigment before it dries. Mark Stopforth demonstrates how the technique can be used without a brush to powerfully portray skies and seas. He explains further how it allows for bold, strong artwork that echoes the enigmatic styles of Turner, Van Gogh and Constable.
MARK STOPFORTH is a contemporary painter who uses the alla prima technique to capture the majesty and drama of the British landscape at its wildest. His work has been exhibited around the country and is held in collections both at home and abroad. He regularly teaches and showcases his paintings through workshops and talks.
