Direct Painting renders a painterly style of painting that is perfect for the painter who wants to learn how to paint landscapes. Grab a prepared canvas surface, and go directly to painting the finished composition!

The formal description for direct painting is that it is known as alla prima or premier coup painting. This refers to a painting method where the artist applies strokes of paint in one sitting, with the intention of letting it become the final application. There is no over-painting after the first layer of paint has dried. This technique was made popular by the impressionistic painters of the nineteenth century. It renders a more 'painterly' style of art. In this course, students will paint a simple country landscape painting after the style of the famous English landscape artist John Constable. The landscape is called, 'Cottage In A Cornfield'.
