Have you heard of the Zorn Palette? It includes a warm red and an earth yellow, along with black and white, creating a powerful tool for representational portraits and figurative art. Rooted in Anders Zorn’s 19th-century practice, this minimalist approach connects to ancient practices, at a time when fewer pigments were available. The Zorn Palette provides an effective introduction to color for beginners, and experienced artists can use it as the starting point for a more complex palette.
