Massive Black - Coro Alla Prima Portraiture Oil Lesson

Every Tuesday night the students of the ConceptArt.Org Atelier gather 'round for a round of Alla Prima portrait painting. El Coro runs the show, which is to say that he leads by example and occasionally walks around with a stick to keep the kids in line. He also makes a lot of jokes, though a few of the jokes had to be set aside to make way for the nonstop barrage of painting wisdom contained in this video. Coro begins with good solid basics: his materials, setting up the palette, and the general proportions of a head. The rest of the video is a painting demonstration covering topics ranging from paint application, color, value, form, and overall approach. Hands down this is one of our finest videos to date.
