Alla Prima: is a term used in oil painting. In Italian it means first attempt, but colloquially it just means that you begin and end in a single session, applying wet paint to wet paint.

Description:

Step into a world where the timeless traditions of classical art come alive. Atelier Theatre offers a rare opportunity to observe master painter Stephen Cefalo as he works live in wet or dry media, transforming blank canvas into luminous form before your eyes.

Set to the gentle strains of classical music and complemented by fine refreshments, this immersive studio experience invites guests to engage with the artistic process in an intimate and inspiring setting. Whether you choose to simply watch, ask questions, sketch or paint alongside Stephen, this is an evening designed to nourish the creative spirit.

There is no formal instruction, only the raw, unfolding artistry of a working painter at his easel. Bring your curiosity, your sketchbook, or your paints, and enjoy an evening where observation becomes inspiration.
