Wet-on-wet, or alla prima (Italian, meaning at first attempt), direct painting or au premier coup,[1] is a painting technique in which layers of wet paint are applied to previously administered layers of wet paint. Used mostly in oil painting, the technique requires a fast way of working, because the work has to be finished before the first layers have dried.
