I don't know if I would say one technique is easier than the other. Due to the use of scumbeling and glazing the whole process of artists like B. , takes longer than an "ala prima" technique.
Years ago I did a painting of Starfish, which had to be done in a impressionistic manner. I struggled all the way through, although the technique seemed to allow for more freedom, than a tightly rendered painting would. So go figure that one out!
It often depends where the interest of the artist lies. Each technique requires the knowledge of your materials and enough practice to be convincing. I am sure you will succeed in what ever you put your mind to as long as you work hard and as you said "paint from life".
