Julieanne: works from life with plein air landscapes and still life. She enjoys painting alla prima, Italian meaning "first time". This is a method where the artist captures the image in one sitting, letting each stroke of paint stand as is. This contrasts the traditional method of letting it dry and applying many glazes until finished. Painting from life is one of the most challenging and enjoyable things an artist can do.
