“Alla Prima” is Italian for “in one go” — a painting technique where the portrait is created in a single sitting, fresh and full of life, and the result captures the sitter in the moment.
Join celebrated painter Julia Sterland for a one-to-one live portrait session. In just 40–60 minutes, Julia will paint your likeness in her expressive Alla Prima style. Every brushstroke is spontaneous and energetic, making each portrait distinctive . The starting point is blank paper carefully primed for oils. No photography , no AI.

– Experience modelling and being still for an hour.
– Own a personal, hand-painted oil portrait of either yourself or a friend.
How it Works
