Realistic Skin Tones with Just 4 colours!?!? The Zorn Palette - Colour Mixing Demonstration

Thank you Andrew you have taken some of the mystery, and fear out of tackling a portrait! Watching you go through the process of experimenting with creating the colors you wanted, was also super helpful! I like the idea of having a separate piece of canvas to test the colors. Amazing, thank you, you're the best!

Great walkthrough! I think one of the best things with the Zorn/ limited palette is that it’s fairly easy to remember, and to see how you mixed the colours, when needing to go back to a certain colour and mix it again.

I’ve seen this palette many times before, but have yet to try it. You used the colors quite effectively! A great painting, and such an inspiration to want to actually try this limit color range!

Incredibly done Master Andrew!!!🙌🏻💯 I always wanted to try the Zorn pallette but never attempted but your videos always encourages me. I was not sure about the range of colours but this gem (video) cleared a lot of things. Thankyou so much 😄🙏🏻🌟

Phenomenal video! For someone who is new to painting, I couldn't believe how well such a simple palette could be applied!

I always look forward to your content. There's new takeaways every time. I appreciate you!

Color and color mixing is what it is. I've always mixed allot on the canvas. Your brush work, however, is absolutely great! You patience is incredible, especially with your larger landscape works! Good tips for attitude on sticking with it.

Excellent instruction Andrew, with different techniques to satisfy anyone's method! I learned to paint over the grisaille with opaque paints, not transparent, which was also very instructional to follow form. Somehow I missed knowing about the Zorn Palette but you have demonstrated versatility in extremely limited palette techniques. I'm reminded the old masters had to mix their own colors themselves, so they didn't have all the variety we take for granted, but they knew how to paint! It is very educational to learn one's craft intensely this way before expanding into new areas. Well done Andrew!

Thank you, Andrew! I love the Zorn pallette...sometimes adding a little others but the basics are definitely there with the Zorn color mixes!

Thank you Andrew. I am not a painer. I draw pencil sketches by my own. I have been watching portrait painting for few weeks and got your channel popped up in YT recommendations. I was amazed. For a moment I thought you were touching the face of a real, living, person with your brushe but then it turned out to be your mastery of painting of a portrait. I love watching breath-taking every moment of your video. Thank you so much and I really appreciate you for sharing your knowledge. Keep up the good sharing. I will definitely visit your webpage and learn some more. I liked your video, your style, and your simplicity. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your sublime gifts and genuine passion & joy 🙏💕💕💕 Your talent's in equal measure to your authentic humility: that combination creates an extraordinarily rare element on the Periodic Table of Creativity! 🙏 🌷🙏

A wonderful demonstration of the Zorn Palette, Andrew! Thanks for sharing!

Andrew, you are really a great artist. The way you explain, and the amazing results of your work... It seems to be so easy painting at that le el, but it isn't at all. Congrats from Spain!

Andrew, I really love watching your portrait videos. I especially like the different styles of brushes that you use. I haven't seen the sharp, angled brush that you use in your portrait paintings. I particularly like your technique of applying tiny little dots of paint on the finishing touches which is something that you do so well. I will use that technique when I do my next portrait painting! I want to watch more and more of your videos.

This is sooooo Masterful!!!! Thanks so much for sharing with us Andrew!!!

You are a very gifted teacher. Glad to get a color refresher from you.

What a fantastic tutorial Andrew. I can't wait to give it a try. Thank you.

As always great insights -love the extended greyscale for reference - thank you

Great explanation of the colours. Love the simplicity of the Zorn palette. I guess this really works due to the black turning to the cooler blue tones when mixed and a sweet portrait to finish with.👍👏

Your instruction is truly amazing! You've inspired me to pick up oil painting again; I've been doing watercolors for several years.
