Book Limited Palette Colour Mixing Workshop Now
This workshop will introduce you to mixing colour using a palette consisting of just red, yellow and black mixed with white.
This palette is sometimes known as the ‘Zorn’ Palette after the 19th Century Swedish painter known for the incredible range and unity he achieved using very few colours.
Introducing colour in this limited way will help you understand the basic ingredients of a colour palette and the role of each colour.
The class is limited to 8 students so that everyone gets plenty of individual feedback.
Course Outline
You will first learn to mix the secondary colours using the palette before looking at how to event their tonal value and neutralise them to make the more subtle hues you’ll use most often.
Subtle control of colour is essential for rendering realistic skin tones while keeping colour clean and vibrant. Knowing the role of each pigment allows you to vary the colours and design your own palette to achieve the creative effects you want.
You will also learn to organise the paint on your palette and ‘tune’ it to keep the colour in your paintings unified. This will save you time while you’re working, an essential skill when working from life.
