Creating a Painting in Only 1 Day | Abstract Lion Alla Prima Oil Painting

I have used oil paints before but I have never tried painting alla prima, in one sitting, before. This was a challenge for me as it's so different to my usual style of working. I made some mistakes but I also learned some things along the way that I thought I would share with you in this video.

A tip someone once told me was to not try painting with the brush, paint with the PAINT on the brush…if that makes sense. This was a game changer for my artwork.
I was acrylic, then tried oil…now I’m 90 percent oil…be careful, this could happen to you! Lol!

[@StudioWildlife]

Thank you great tip! that’s exactly how I started thinking about it towards the end of the painting. Made it much easier! Think I might join you with the oils haha

Good job. Lion ultimate warrior 🦁🔥💪👑

Crelando was the first set of acrylic paints I started with. They are a cheaper brand. Now I use Windsor Newton. Tgey had some very vibrant colours.

[@Axel-hi4ce]

love this! i've been looking for a demo of a painting style similar to this for a while

[@StudioWildlife]

Thanks! Hope it helps you with your work!

Love the loose paintings. They are far more interesting seeing the brush strokes than the tight photo type

[@alenagilley4703]

Fantastic work !!!

[@tracy-eire]

Oh, I love Alla Prima! Good luck! Yep, brushes go big to small, like focus. My tip is cotton buds for removing little bits of paint where needed and transparent paint washes or glazes for background colour and uniform colour where needed!

[@coviedogs]

Awesome! Love your accent and your personality!

Really like the painting, and it is great for a first Alla Prima painting. Making the move from acrylic to oil defiantly requires a different way of thinking and applying the paint. A lot of people don't care for the slower drying time of oil, but that really is it's great advantage......don't be surprised if you do many more oil paintings and then do an acrylic painting, the quick drying time of acrylic can become very frustrating.
The only tip for Alla Prima oil painting is.......MORE. The MORE you do it, the better it gets, and the more you will enjoy it.
Looking forward to seeing more oil painting on your channel.

Wow. Just wow 🥹

[@joolsmckenzie5962]

Wonderful painting and style, I’d love to loosen up too…. More like this would be very appreciated 😊

Amazing lion painting on canvas

[@FaganMrs]

I really like this one Daniel, it lends itsef to being sightly abstract too and maybe more painterly . I also think your brush strokes are important with this and of course the thickness of the oils. Choosing the right reference is also important . But i definately think you should of tinted the canvas, that white canvas would of sent me into overload lol !!

[@evelyndominguez4757]

Really loved this one. Great tips and observations. ❤

[@wirelesscustomer278]

I love the lion you did a great job 👏🏻

[@universeangels909]

Wow that's amazing!

[@zs_dreamwalls]

I love this style 👍🏻

[@vanitagovan4815]

Hello can you make a video showing your colour mixtures for the lion🙏

[@sheilad4704]

Thank you for this video, I have only used acrylic's, some mixed media & want to try oils so bad, as I love the look. This video explained so much, more paint on brush & to lay down color, not brush it in. I just found your channel, love the acrylic glazing video, it was great. Im sub'd. You're so talented!!! Thanks again for sharing

[@melindab3496]

Find a good mixing medium you like it will be much easier. It will blend much easier. I ❤️ oils I sometimes use acrylic as a under painting and oil on top much faster and a great result.

[@geoffc1862]

Stunning lad. I only try oils if I can stick to the palette knife only - I hate the cleaning of oil brushes! That said did you use any oil medium?
Sadly I'm not a fan of that red knife work towards the end - seems a tad out of place!

[@nathanjacobsart4451]

Very nice painting 👍

[@akshay2382]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@deborareyart]

love this!! I need try it, I paint animals and its hard for me to go abstract but I want to paint faster...

[@ArtbyJoeH]

Yeah just before you said it I was thinking, ‘I’d have used a much bigger brush to block in!’

[@jakovj.m.5322]

Beautiful, there was some announcement of yours about the video of how you made that wall easel.
How many kelvin are the lamps?

[@StudioWildlife]

I am not sure but I’ll get a video uploaded soon with the details 😄

[@LoraJonesVideos]

This is outstanding! Beautiful painting. Do you mind me asking which medium you used?

[@taniaregina5007]

Adorei ❤❤
