Alla Prima II: Everything I know About Painting - and More

Alla Prima II is the expanded version of Richard Schmid's original Alla Prima, which is considered one of the most comprehensive art instruction books on the market and the standard in classical art education both in the United States and abroad. While all the information in the original edition has been retained, Richard revisited it for greater clarity, adding even more information on painting and the insights he acquired since it's release fifteen years ago. With 328 pages and 262 images of paintings, step-by-step sequences, and diagrams, this is a truly remarkable book and an essential for painters seeking serious instruction in representational painting.
