Alla Prima portrait technique (wet-on-wet) - Oil Painting with Jack Ford

We filmed this alla prima portrait course with artist Jack Ford in his London studio. Jack Ford is a portrait painter from London. He studied at the Arts University Bournemouth before moving to Florence to study under internationally renowned painter and teacher Charles H Cecil. During this time, Jack continued with his artistic practice, working in both wet and dry mediums such as oil paint and charcoal. He returns regularly to Florence to teach, alongside his teaching at London Fine Art Studios and as a visiting tutor to Atelier Tremlett in Lewes. Painting from life, Jack is keen for the works to be influenced by the ever changing variation of nature, constantly editing designs and re-evaluating whilst painting. Jack Ford is an incredible oil painter and it was so fun to film this with him. Stay tuned for the rest of the course! :) If you want to see more of Jack’s work you can find him on instagram -@jackfordart and his website - The Classica
