Alla Prima is a painting technique (in Italian at first attempt), in which wet paint is applied at a single sitting without any layers or glaze being added later.

Hi, my name is Torsten Wolber and I am a painter.

When I started to paint several years ago, I decided very quickly on the traditional but less extensively used Allaprima Technique. After 28 wonderfully creative years as an illustrator I wanted to discover more about the secrets of painting and learned how with this approach spontaneity together with intuition can create an unprecedented feeling of freedom when painting.

My Domestika Course

Explore contemporary oil painting, unleash your creativity, and draw expressive portraits with an innovative technique

 

Artistic vision is shaped by learned perspectives and filters that we're often not even aware of. For painter Torsten Wolber, this realization became the key to carving out his personal portraiture technique. He approaches his art with confidence, without waiting around for a concrete result. His oil paintings can be found in private collections and galleries, as well as in publications such as Der Spiegel and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

In this course, he teaches you a new method for painting shape-oriented portraits using a photograph as a reference. With Torsten as your guide, discover how to express yourself freely and confidently, without losing sight of the bigger picture. Go beyond your limits and express your authentic style to open doors in the artistic world!
