You'll learn how to do an oil sketch of fruit.
The oil sketch is one variety of alla prima, or 'all at once' painting, which is one branch of oil painting with many variations in style.
The oil sketch is meant to be fast, starting with large washes of color thinned down with turpentine or other solvent that will allow them to dry quickly.
The entire painting shouldn't take more than fifteen or twenty minutes, so choose very simple subject matter that can be captured quickly.
In this oil sketch, I chose a st
ill life of three pieces of fruit. Begin by sketching the fruit very loosely in a charcoal pencil (or anything else except graphite, which will bleed through the paint).
For the alla prima painting, you'll need more colours than the wipe-out monochromatic painting, but start with just a few of the local colors - green for the pear and apple, red for the red apple, and so on.
