100 Alla Prima Still life Oil Paintings
​in 100 Days by Julie Cane

In 2020, I set out to challenge myself with both artistic and personal goals. I decided to create 100 alla prima still life oil paintings in 100 days, aiming to capture the beauty of nature.

Alla prima painting, which involves completing a painting in one session, had always been an ambition of mine. I chose this challenge to refine my skills, create easily shippable works, and produce paintings within a couple of hours. However, some pieces took up to eight hours to complete. All but the first and last paintings feature subjects from the natural world.

The unexpected global pandemic added a layer of difficulty, leading to the cancellation of my planned exhibition and additional stress from fear, homeschooling my two children, and limited subject availability due to lockdowns. This challenge became more demanding than I had anticipated.
I hope you enjoy the collection.

Please see the 100 Days Frequently Asked Questions for details about size, format, presentation, shipping etc. or please contact me, I would love to help πŸ™‚Β

Artist at work - some timelapse videos

Here are a selection of time-lapse videos which show my working process for some of my favourites from this project. My process is considerably speeded up, the 100 Days Project paintings took between two and 8 hours of work each day.

Compilations, featuring 5 paintings each, of all 100 days of the project along with other videos ​ can be found on my YouTube channel here.
