Alley Shadows
"I'm motivated by the beauty surrounding us in simple, everyday objects
and scenes. I paint exclusively in oils and enjoy the challenge of
working alla prima, both in the studio and outdoors, usually finishing a
piece in a single session."
– Michael Chamberlain

Alla
prima (Italian, meaning at first attempt) or wet-on-wet is a painting
technique used mostly in oil painting, in which layers of wet paint are
applied to previous layers of wet paint.
