Oil Painting in Alla PrimaHosted by Pompano Beach Cultural Affairs Department

Every 3rd Saturday. Discover the beauty and immediacy of alla prima—a traditional oil painting technique in which a painting is completed in a single session, working wet-into-wet. In this class, students will learn the fundamentals of oil painting, including materials, color mixing, brushwork, and composition, while gaining confidence in handling oil paint with clarity and intention. Each class results in a finished painting, allowing artists to build skill, spontaneity, and expressive strength over time. Beginner to advanced students are welcome.
