Imprimitura 1 

In this video, Imprimitura - part 1, artist Robert Masla, Founder and Director of Casa de los Artists, Inc.: www.ArtWorkshopVacations.com describes what an Imprimitura is. At his Studios North, in rural Ashfield, MA he shares a little of the historical development in oil painting of using an Imprimitura and then takes us in the field for a plein air demo of one of the many ways he uses it in his painting.
