In the video you used some additional colors, but I only used primary colors and white. I have a background in pen and ink drawing, cartooning in particular. Color has always been difficult, mostly because I am trying to use the huge palates offered by the various drawing programs I have used. Using only the primary colors makes it very easy for me to match colors. I have to get it out of my head to draw what I think it should look like and just draw what I see. I think one could use the Zorn palate with this exercise.

I also only have the three primaries and white. It's a challenge but a good one. What is Zorn?

Lynn Nelson

Zorn was a painter in the late nineteenth century. He used red, yellow, black, and white, eliminating blue for his portrait paintings. Those four colors make great flesh tones, but not greens or skies.

Had a lot of fun with this for my second lesson - thanks Chris

Sharpening my skills! I enjoyed this lesson

This one didn’t come out as good as I had hoped. I’m still struggling to just see and color shapes. I’ve always been detailed oriented and I catch myself trying to do details instead of one basic color and then moving on.

Ohhh, that reflection on the table! Can’t wait to watch this and then paint it. Thanks for offering up good quality tutorials for us $5 level folks.

Hayden

Excellent teaching painting. Very basic, very needed.
