Service Description

The Zorn Palette (also known as the Apelles Palette) comprises four colours thought to have been used by the Swedish portrait painter Anders Zorn (18 February 1860 – 22 August 1920). These colours are Genuine Cadmium Red, Ivory Black, Titanium White and Yellow Ochre. There is evidence that this palette has been in use by painters since the 4th Century BC. It is referred to today by many contemporary portrait tutors, both online and at in-person portrait workshops, as it is an effective framework of colour within which you can explore mixing skin tones with relative ease. Unlock the secrets of the Zorn palette in this immersive and hands-on workshop designed for artists of all skill levels. This session will guide you through the process of creating your own Zorn palette color chart, providing a comprehensive visual study and reference tool.
