Alla Prima

March 27, 2010 - May 2, 2010

Strictly defined, alla prima is a painting technique in which the work is completed in one session without time for the paint to dry, but the term is also more loosely applied to any painting done in a direct, expressive style, with minimal preparation. For our inaugural exhibition Cowan will be applying this technique to canvas, cotton and confections.
