Dear Subscribers,
Part 2 of this alla prima painting workshop series is now available. This workshop recording is making its debut exclusively for you, and it hasn't been shared publicly on any other channels before.
In case you missed it, the first part is free for all subscribers and can be reviewed below:
For subsequent videos, paying subscribers will have exclusive access for a very modest subscription fee. I'm eager for you to explore these sessions, as they show step-by-step how I often approach painting floral subjects from life study. I hope you will find them both interesting and valuable.
Paying subscribers also have the opportunity to post questions and comments in a private chat section on my Substack. Your engagement is encouraged and appreciated.
By the way, if you want to either speed up or slow down playback of the video, you can do that by clicking the three dots in the bottom right corner and adjusting the playback settings.
Warm regards,
Alex
