THE ALLA PRIMA BOOTCAMP MISSION

The Alla Prima Bootcamp is dedicated to transforming hobbyist portrait painters into confident, accomplished artists with a distinctive style and a cohesive body of work. We specialize in helping artists loosen up their techniques to paint in the tradition of John Singer Sargent. 


Our mission is to offer an immersive and nurturing environment where artists can refine their technical skills, explore their creativity, and grow professionally. Through this journey, artists gain newfound confidence, tranquility in their practice, and the satisfaction of reaching their full potential.
