- Oil painting - Landscape painting of a mining shack. This is a timelapse video of an alla prima oil painting. In this video you'll see a painting go from a blank canvas to a signed and finished oil painting. Alla Prima painting is a technique that helps an artist be fresh and innovative with paint. It is also the best technique to paint from life. I'll explain elements to pay attention to during the time lapse to better enhance your view time.

Great work. The textures in the roof are amazing. I can't believe I haven't found your channel before now. New sub.
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video🤓🎨🎨
Wow!
Thanks!🎨
I love the Alla Prima style . Thanks .
You’re most welcome - thank you for watching and commenting!🤓🎨
Lovely. I really enjoyed the middle section where the image suddenly transforms from 2D to 3D & the depth builds out of nowhere. Thanks for posting Doug!
I really appreciate that comment, Kat! Thank you!❤️

This is BRILLIANT Doug! Thanks for sharing your time and talent. So glad I found your channel here and honoured to have met you in person :)
Thank you so much, Valerie! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment- it really helps to get the boost! 🤓🎨🎨
Very nice job, Doug. I especially liked the amount of time that you spent on the details, after the main forms had been defined. Those details took it to another level.
I was wondering if you had considered doing a commentary instead of the music during the editing process? It wasn't bad, but I just muted it so I could watch the video over and over. Thanks for posting this. It was really good.
Hi Rick - great time hear from you! Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I am planning that - this video was just a short intro to both myself and the way I painted so I wanted to ‘stay out of the way’ a bit and just let people watch the process. The next piece will be all voice over instruction. Thanks again for the feedback, brother!🤓🎨
Doug is an awesome technician and artist. Love his work
Hey Bryan! Thanks, my friend!😁🎨
I Enjoyed, Love country landscapes and old buildings. Would have like it slower with your thought processes and techniques as you painted. I suppose that’s harder to do and edit. Thanks for your time and sharing. Loved your choice of material, depth of detail an color choices. Will look for more, thanks Again
Thank you very much, Constance - I really appreciate the feedback. I’m working on a new video that has some of those elements- I should have it posted in a week or two - thanks again!
Fantastic!!
Thanks!😁🎨🎨
Wow! What else can I say. Great job
Thank you for taking the time to comment - I really appreciate that🤓🎨
Thank you Doug, I am very impressed with your videos and enjoy watching you.
Thank you very much for that, Robert - I can’t tell you how much I appreciate hearing that!🤓🎨
Love the video! Cool background music. I really liked the way you made the roof come to life. Looking forward to more videos.
Thank you very much for the feedback, Heather! I’m hoping my next one will be finished in a week!🎨
Fantastico, grazie! 👍
You’re most welcome!🎨🎨
I love it Doug :). Thank you!
Thank you, Darrion - I’m glad to hear that. Let me know if you’ve got other themes or subjects you’d like me to pursue in future videos🤓🎨
Amazing thanks for sharing.
I’m glad you liked it - thanks for commenting!🎨
Amazing work I say perfect
Wow! Thanks very much!🎨🎨
Amazing work! I really liked how you explained the background before you started. I have recently started using oil paints and like you said the paint wants to help the artist, totally connect to you what you said. Beautiful finsih to the painting. Really inspiring!!!
I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful feedback, Shilton - that’s everything I was hoping for when I made the video! I hope enjoy the others as much🎨🎨 Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Very nice😘
Thank you!🤓🎨
Very nice work!
Thank you very much!🎨🎨
Really enjoyed that Doug. I will be following you for sure. Well done my friend!
Thank you very much for that! That means a lot 🤓🎨
Top notch! I really like the way you paint and it is great to see some Canadian art content on UA-cam. I subscribed!
Thank you very much, Wendy! I really appreciate that!🎨🎨
I wish I could see you mixing colors...but thanks for sharing this beautiful painting
Hi John - thanks for the feedback - I’m working on that!🤓🎨
❤🖌🎨🖼Fantástico, me encanta mucho.
I really appreciate that 😁🎨 thank you!
lovely
Thank you!
Incredible
Wasted Years I really thank you for the comments on both videos - it makes my day!😁🎨
Fantastic Doug. Beautiful and very informative. Any chance you could talk about the colors and brushes you use?
Hi Shelly- yes, I’m working on a second camera set up that can capture the paint mixing as well but I’ve had some tech issues - but it’s uppermost in my mind! In the meantime, I am thinking of doing a short video just talking about my paints and how I mix - let me know if that would interest you and tide you over until I get the second camera up. Thanks for commenting!🎨
شكرًا 🙏💕
Thanks
You’re most welcome- glad you liked it!🎨
Everything about this is first class. Youre intro, of course the painting which is awesome, and the soundtrack. Very Very well done!
BTW where did you get that music?
I can’t thank you enough for the kind words, Mark - really means a lot! And the music comes from Artlist - it’s a subscription based music library - I can’t recommend them enough if you’re looking for music to use in your own projects!🤓🎨 Thanks again!
@@douglevittfineart Thanks, Ill check it out.
Well done, sir.
Thank you, Robert 🤓🎨
What colours did you use in this painting please. Lovely video, I will give it a go.
Hi Nicky - thanks for the question and I’m glad you liked the episode! I have a breakdown of my palette colours in another video - it’s the ‘Q&A: episode 1’ video. At 15:40 into the video I go into the colours I use. I also have two ‘Two minute tip’ videos that talk about how I set up my palette and brushes too. I hope that helps and thank you again for watching!🎨🎨
This is absolutely lovely! How long do you usually spend on an alla prima painting like this?
Thank you! This was done as a demo for a student and took just over 2 hours.
@@douglevittfineart Jeez that’s way faster than anticipated. I was thinking maybe 6 hours hahah. Anyways thanks for the answer!
@@Thesamurai1999 no worries - thank you for watching and commenting - I really appreciate it!🤓🎨
Really nicely done! Great sense of light, color and tonal range. Look forward to seeing more so I sub'd.
wdtpaints Thank you very much! I really appreciate that - thank you for the support - I’ve subbed to your channel and looking forward to watching them all! I love it when we can all find ways to support one another!🎨🎨🎨 Lets build this art community!🤓
@@douglevittfineart Something strange happened - my sub to you did not take so trying again. And yes we should support each other. It's a marathon not a sprint. How often will u post?
wdtpaints I’m aiming for once a week as I move forward- crossed fingers! (Or maybe I should say crossed brushes)😆🎨
Hey Man! Great Demo! what are you using as medium?
Thanks! I use oil paint and it’s mostly out of the tube - when I thin it, I use a mix of gamsol/linseed oil.
@@douglevittfineart Wow! Thank you for answering! i heard that doing an Alla prima painting can be difficult because you only have one layer of paint. But i see that a lot of artists actually paint a lot of layers doing Alla prima, i´m not sure if they are all using a type of medium and thinner or if they are mixing the painting on the canvas without any medium, but that would contradict the whole thick over thin rule right?
@@erp123erp when you paint alla prima it’s usually done in one setting and it’s best to start thin and as you go you do tend to build up the amount of paint you’re using - for me that’s part of the fun 🤓🎨🎨

Thanks for the really nice demonstration. I have one question: How long does a painting like that take to dry? I assume you are using the pure color and no drying agents, so just the pure paint. I imagine it must take months. As a novice in oil painting,, I'm trying to find my way with oils and somehow I like the alla prima approach.
Morticia147 Hello - thanks for the comment and question! Actually no, out of the tube (good guess, btw🤓) the paints are fully dry to the touch within days to a week. I offer online teaching, if you’re at all interested in trying that out, feel free to direct message me on my Facebook page at Doug Levitt Fine Art or email me at: thepainter@douglevitt.net - thanks so much for chatting and have great fun on your journey!🎨
@@douglevittfineart Thanks for the nice reply. Unfortunately at the moment I can't afford any teaching classes, and I don't have an FB account (I don't like them).
For the time beeing I have to figure out most of it myself or by finding helpful information on the internet. Hopefully I find a way, because at the moment my oil paints and me are not on the same page ;o)
I want to paint without this poisoness stuff and alla prima seems to be a good way for that, it also plays in my not existing patients.
So for the moment I'm subscribing and wait what's on the way....
Morticia147 I totally understand all that! I’m working on the editing of a new video as we speak and I’m happy I can be of any use to you on your journey! And hey, I’m proof that pushing paint, miles on the brush and on the job practice (and maybe a smidge of sheer stubbornness) works! You can learn this on your own - it does take longer but you never forget what you’ve learned from any given lesson on the way because you fight hard for that knowledge - so just keep pushing that paint!🤓🎨
@@douglevittfineart Oh, you are very usefull on my journey. You provide so much information thats helpful :O)
Morticia147 Thank you - very glad to hear it!🤓🎨
I want to learn how to paint landscape and animals.
I’m prepping for a show at the Leighton museum in July that focuses on birds so I’ll have some videos of creating those paintings coming up and then in August I’ll have lots of plein air landscape videos and some animal videos as well - so stay tuned!🤓🎨
Hi Doug, you are an amazing artist. I love what I see, but I could not even get close to ever dreaming of reproducing it.
That’s very nice to say, kind sir - thank you!🤓🎨
Good, but it would be way better and more.useful with your commentary. The best instructors on YT just do it.
Good feedback- thank you!
thousands of likes
Wow - I really appreciate that- thanks!🎨🎨
speed is too annoying sorry was looking forward to watching.'
I’m sorry it wasn’t to your taste - I’ll be releasing other videos as I go that are portions of real time brush work. The thing I like about the time lapse videos like this one is that you actually see every brush stroke (although it is fast it gives you the full development of a painting) while the real time videos require jumping ahead - so you see brush strokes as they happen but you also miss a ton of stuff. But if you prefer the real time demo come back for another visit and give those a try - and thanks for giving my channel a chance🤓🎨 Also, I’m working towards a full, real time instructional video. I hope to have it released in the New Year!
