How Not To Paint - Recent Paintings and Photographs - Oil spray alla prima on Masonite

"In recent years the "wet-on-wet" (alla prima) practice has become
well known as the primary method of painting used by such television
artists as Bill Alexander, Bob Ross, and Robert Warren. Since colors
will usually mix if one is laid over top of another while both are wet,
full paintings (requiring at most only a few minutes of detail work
after the main work is dry) can be produced in a short period of time
– Alexander and Ross could produce an entire landscape in under half an
hour
on their respective television shows, The Magic of Oil Painting and
The Joy of Painting."
