Join us for 2 days of alla prima action! Alla prima painting is the practice of starting and finishing a painting all in one session. The first day Antonio will lecture and demo in the morning how we approach our alla prima paintings. Then in the afternoon you will try your hand at starting your own. The second day you will have a full day to start and finish your painting.

ARA students, if you participated in our previous alla prima day, you can begin an alla prima on the first day. Also, you will have a discount code for this workshop for $45 off. Contact Julie for the discount code. If you don’t remember it.

Antonio Lones

Antonio Lones was born and raised in El Salvador. From a very early age he was involved in artistic activities. His teachers had noticed his affinity for drawing since elementary school, but it wasn’t until 2011 that he was first introduced to formal drawing and painting methods but with no guidance. In 2013, leaving his studies in architecture he moved to the U.S. pursuing ‘the American dream’. He had been very influenced by the realist movement and the classical methodology and as a self-taught artist he kept creating artworks while he was learning a new language. Taking his appreciation for classical painting and portraiture, he started to search for art schools in Boston, which ultimately led him to enroll at ARA Boston in 2018, after receiving a one year full tuition scholarship.

He participated in a group show in 2017/18 which showcased Latino heritage in the Somerville Public Library, MA. In 2020 he won first place in the November self portrait challenge from New Masters Academy with the best technical skill award. In 2021 he won the people's choice award from Richeson Still life and Floral competition. Currently, he is working as instructor while he finishes the main program and starting to build his own series of personal paintings.

You can find him in Instagram here.
