    Wet-on-wet, or alla prima (Italian, meaning at first attempt), direct painting or au premier coup,[1] is a painting technique in which layers of wet paint are applied to previously administered layers of wet paint.

    Used mostly in oil painting, the technique requires a fast way of working, because the work has to be finished before the first layers have dried.

    Technique

    Traditionally, a new layer of oil-based paint is applied to most parts of a painting only after allowing a previous layer to dry completely; this drying process can take from several days to several weeks, depending on the thickness of the paint.

    In contrast, work performed using alla prima can be carried out in one or more sessions (depending on the types of paint used and their respective drying times), and it is common for such a work to be finished in only one session
