How to Paint a Gouache Landscape alla Prima for a Painterly, Spontaneous Effect

I'mElisabetta, an Italian artistwith a true passion for sketching and painting. I believe that drawing is a teachable skill, not just a talent, and thatanyone can paint!
Today I have an exciting new class for you: we will be painting agouache landscape "alla prima": it  refers to a direct painting approach where paint is appliedwet on wetwithout letting earlier layers dry. It is a veryloose and relaxedway of painting. It's easy, fun and the results are amazing!Anyone can do it!
Alla prima was the favourite technique of impressionists for oil, but today in my class we are using this technique with gouache: the final painting will look a bit like oil, withvisible wide brushstrokes and a lot of texture. I love it!  And you? don't you like it?
This class is meant foradvanced beginners. If you have never tried gouache before, maybe you can start with my previous gouache classes:
