Stages of a Portrait
Above you will see the teaching tool that I have created, showing the stages of a portrait, employing the Zorn limited palette.
The Zorn palette is named after Anders Leonard Zorn, 1860-1920, who was an internationally successful artist from Sweden.
Best know for his portraits, domestic scenes and nudes in outdoor settings, he like Sargent and Sorrolla are greatly admired by many realist artists today for his lively and skillful brushwork. Zorn is also know for using a limited palette. It is believed that Zorn reduced his palette to three rather earthy colors, Yellow Orchre, Cad. Red Medium, or Cad. Red Light, ( Zorn used Vermillion) Ivory Black and White.
