About this artwork
Alla prima from live model in motion. Using a limited palette of mostly Ochres and high key values with calligraphic brush "drawing" to get an over all energy of the figure moving through the density of pigment, almost a struggle

United States
Christine Ritchie is an accomplished painter with a rich background, including a BFA and MFA from Pratt Institute, extensive international plein air studies, and decades of teaching and curatorial experience. Her expressive alla prima technique—applied to both vibrant figurative works and luminous landscapes—captures the immediacy of the moment, focusing on gesture, movement, and the intrinsic qualities of paint and surface. Through her art, she evokes a deep sense of shared humanity, inviting viewers to experience the rhythm, physicality, and emotional resonance of being present in both figure and nature.
