Alla Secundus



Yes, I know: Using two languages to form a neologism is strange, but I don't know the Italian for "second." The two small paintings shown here are Alla Prima paintings that I refined at home in a second session.

Is there a term for that? And if you know that, maybe you could tell me what a three-session painting, or a four, five or six is called. Sometimes I work on a painting for a month, or take down a painting I've had up for years to change something on it I think doesn't work well, or could work better.
