Diane, you are a warm, engaging. and motivating teacher. I threw away my blood pressure meds. Now I press the play button on my tablet and immerse myself in one of your videos while soaking up your calm, appreciative attitude towards the art and science of painting. Thank you!
Before this video....I was so confused about how to paint with bunch of different colours.....Thank you very much...now I'm more energetic about doing more painting 🎨
Thank you so much Diane, today I am in a painting challenge where we have been asked to use The Zorn Palette and I knew you would be able to help. You are an amazing teacher!! x
Ms Mize, you are an inspiring instructor! Your students throughout the years were very fortunate to study with you. Thank you for expanding to you tube reaching more people starving for quality information.
Such a concise and effective elucidation of what many would find daunting. Thank you Dianne. You are not only simply delightful to watch, but also impart a wealth of knowledge in only a few words.
Thank you! One of the best lesson on UA-cam! Actually I use this palette for my oil portraits, but you gave me a lot more combinations! I realized also raw amber can be substituted with this palette !!! Fantastic lesson! 🙏🙏🙏
Zorn plus raw umber is pretty much all you need. You can also buy empty paint tubes and create your own convenience mixtures out of that palette and obtain the eternal joys of harmonious color cohesion.👊🏻
Fantastic instructional Dianne, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to put this together and thank you In the Studio Art Instruction for making this post possible.
I love this video. Ive tried 7 different reds , 4 different yellows , and 4 different whites. I honestly think to get his exact colors its : Flake White , Vermillion, Yellow Ochre, Ivory Black. The main thing is the Vermillion. You cannot get the same light beautiful orange pink flesh tone highlights with any other red. Also Titanium white is way to strong and is hard to tone down.
Always remember though that this was Zorns start palette and he added whatever other pigments he needed as required. It's a beautiful portrait palette especially with vermilion as the read and a light ochre. I think it's really good to set limits of different kinds as it personally removes the temptation to focus too much on selecting from the huge range of interesting pigments we have available now. It amazing how much can be achieved with some very limited colours. I have sometimes, as an exercise, selected a yellow red blue of types not usual to me and with the addition of burnt umber just seen what happened. Ie naples yellow, English red and cobalt deep or some other combination of pigments I haven't tried together. It's always really interesting what you discover
I just read the other day that this is the same palette Velazquez used for 'Portrait of Juan de Pareja', if anyone wants to see it used for some non-caucasian skin color.
In the Studio Art Instruction i plan to! :) after this great demo, my mind has been chomping on it and i’ve been sort of painting in my head, so to speak. I need some new paint but that’s easily remedied. 👍🌻
Yes ma'am I was wondering how you could get the green thank you so much it is evident that no doubt you have forgotten more than I'll ever know. My statement is meant for a compliment❤ God bless you dear for sharing valuable information.
I really like the Zorn palet because is gets a very intense vibration of red and greys dancing forward and back with soft modulations - and a great Zorn painting as inspiration to explore - and he caught the hair and skin tones of my mother - very inspiring
artcyclopedia.com is a great link to search the artists'works in museums or auction houses such as Christies. I had a hard time finding photos of Zorn's work, but was able to find some via this site. Thanks for the wonderful find. Those of us with no formal art training are missing this foundation.
This is a great video and an engaging presenter. It would be great to see a series of different artists palettes being explored. Sorella, Sargent, etc ...
I'll look into that. We don't have a lot of historical information about a lot of the great's palettes. Zorn's is unique because it is so limited and uses choices other than the traditional three primaries.
Thank you for this. I love all the subtleties of flesh tone you can see with Zorn's palette. I would like to know how to create a basic colour wheel of flesh tones using the colours you used. Thank's again for this tip and sharing many more.
Flesh tones vary according to skin pigmentation, lighting (which includes shadows), and reflective colors. The one thing all skin tones have in common is that they are low in hue saturation, which means they are low chroma (intensity). Since a color wheel identifies hues, to create one for flesh tones, you need the full range of hues that might give you all areas of any pigmentation and the variations you might find in areas hit by degrees of light, degrees of shadow and reflective light. I recommend that you watch some of Cesar Santos' UA-cam videos to get some clues.
I work in my icon paintings (egg tempera) with a very similar palette for tetrachrome. I use Yellow Ochre, Ercolana Red, Iron Oxyd Black and Titanium White. Mixing Black and White and glaze this over a warm underpainting gives a nice blue. The only downside is, that this is opaque while the rest of the painting is transparent.
The values of the original tube colors, no matter how dark, can be controlled with white and other lighter versions of the hues. When any artist selects a palette, it is assumed that white will be a part of it, even though white might not be mentioned.
Diane, you are a warm, engaging. and motivating teacher. I threw away my blood pressure meds. Now I press the play button on my tablet and immerse myself in one of your videos while soaking up your calm, appreciative attitude towards the art and science of painting. Thank you!
Wow, what a compliment! Thanks!

Thanks for this info.
Awesome. I love that guy , thanks for the lesson.
You bet!
This is a great video and an engaging presenter. It would be great to see a series of different artists palettes being explored. Sorella, Sargent, etc ...
I'll look into that. We don't have a lot of historical information about a lot of the great's palettes. Zorn's is unique because it is so limited and uses choices other than the traditional three primaries.

Mixing Black and White and glaze this over a warm underpainting gives a nice blue. The only downside is, that this is opaque while the rest of the painting is transparent.
One way to give an even surface quality to a finished work is to varnish it with a varnish compatible with your painting medium.
That was fascinating, thank you.
Always a pleasure.
Thanks so much great master
My pleasure. Thanks for watching. (You flatter me.)
You are wonderful. 💖
Ah, thanks.
This was so awesome 👍🏻 thanks a lot! 🌷.
Always a pleasure.
thank you Dianne, very interesting
Thank you very much
You bet!
Wow! Your video amazed me everytime! Thank you!
Thank you.
I have tried this pallet and found it to be a little darkish or boring, but I see I have to give this more time.😊
The values of the original tube colors, no matter how dark, can be controlled with white and other lighter versions of the hues. When any artist selects a palette, it is assumed that white will be a part of it, even though white might not be mentioned.
I’ll definitely try this one!
It's a fun one to play with.
