Masquerade began with a disciplined underpainting to establish structure, mood, and restraint before colour was introduced. The painting is quiet by design — built slowly, with intention, and focused on what sits beneath the surface rather than spectacle.

A festive Alla Prima oil painting with an abstract acrylic background, Red Velvet blends freedom and tradition. Watch the timelapse on YouTube or paint the full version with me inside MazArt Academy.

This alla prima Christmas robin shows how to work wet-into-wet without the stress, from the toned ground to the final feather details, all built in one session.
