Cass Arts have been running free workshops every weekend this season and on Saturday I going to be running the show from 12-4pm. In collaboration with Winsor & Newton, who will be supplying all the materials for the day-I'll be demonstrating how I convert my black and white sketches to colour. It's all about the portrait sketch.
I have copied and pasted this from the Cass Arts website

SPECIAL QUOTE
Where others found inspiration in dreams I found it in Nature. Many have called that a lack of imagination. I gladly call it a love of reality.~ Anders Zorn (culled from The Art and Influence blog)
I've always admired Zorn's paintings but I didn't know he had a particular pallet. What was it? if you don't mind saying? He had such a great economy of brush strokes and I can see he has been an influence on your work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anders Zorn wraps up everything I love about painting and drawing. His palette is helping me to learn colour harmony and economy of it's usage.
ReplyDeleteHis palette consisted of
A white
Yellow Ochre
Vermillion or Cadmium Red Light
Ivory Black
