Almost 10 years ago, I started painting in single sessions because I wanted to go professional as fast as possible. And it worked—this is now my full-time job. But here's what nobody tells you about alla prima oil painting: the real magic isn't just that you get better quickly. It's how it transforms your entire mindset as a painter.
In this video, I'm sharing the three mindset shifts that alla prima painting brings—shifts that helped me win awards, sell hundreds of paintings, and build a sustainable practice I genuinely love. This approach is essential for oil painters who want to develop mastery through learning-focused repetition instead of perfectionism.
Whether you're stuck reworking paintings endlessly, struggling to find your style, or burning out from daily painting challenges — this video will show you a different way forward.
