I think alla prima means a lot of different things to different people, and no, I don't paint my portraits in one sitting (I wish!) They take me about a month each, on average.
What I mean is that I don't use transparent glazes and I try to lay down only one opaque layer on a given part of the painting. Doesn't always work out that way and some areas have three, four or five layers until I get them right, but I don't do layered glazes intentionally.
