Hi Linda,
Well, the alla prima method was newish to me, and I think I've just set it aside for now and gone back to underpainting, though this kind is a little different. I like the way underpaintings look, and am often tempted to just leave it and not finish.
I think you're right about the mental shift and maybe that explains why alla prima was not for me. I like paintings with a high degree of finish, and think that will probably be my direction. The subtleties of shadows are currently beyond me.
Scott Bartner? His method is a little different that what I was attempting - I was trying to channel Marvin. Unfortunately I don't think you can channel someone who's currently using their own spirit.
