Alla Prima Cheat Code: Portrait Demonstration
Kai Lun QuJoin professional oil painter Kai Lun Qu for a live alla prima portrait painting demonstration focused on wet-on-wet oil painting and the universal fundamentals that apply across all visual art. Using oil paint as the vehicle, Kai will break down the intellectual side of painting: shape design, value relationships, edge control, color temperature, simplification, and visual decision-making in real time. Rather than teaching formulas or medium-specific tricks, this demo emphasizes the foundational concepts that strengthen drawing, painting, and observation regardless of medium. Attendees will get an inside look at how a professional artist approaches a portrait from block-in to finish while learning practical ways to think more clearly and intentionally about image-making itself.
