​Demonstration with Pilar de la Torre 
In this video, Australian realist painter, Pilar de la Torre demonstrates painting the direct portrait sketch from life. A comprehensive overview of Pilar’s approaching to the alla prima method of oil painting is presented, including discussion on setting up and using a limited palette, combining both the Sight-Size approach to measuring and comparative measurement to achieve proportional accuracy, and the importance of not losing sight of the large shape, tone and colour relationships throughout the duration of the painting process.
