Painting technique where colors are applied all at once, rather than built up gradually in layers.
Alla prima (Italian meaning "the first time") is a term first applied to a method of oil painting in which the entire artwork is developed in one sitting. This is in contrast to the usual method where the painting begins with an underpainting and then progresses over several sittings, numerous layers and various glazes. The alla prima method is often associated with " en plein air" painters who aim to complete a work in just a few hours.
