" 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. "
Hi Enzie
I agree with the sense of "vividness" a portrait should have ,and I think that painting "alla prima"wouldn't have the some transparency and depth as one made in differents times. By the way,impressionist works weren't done "alla prima".Sometimes they lasted ten poses.
Ciao
Adriano
