SESSION I: We start with an art historical overview of Zorn’s work — focusing on his landscapes and portraits in oil or watercolor and a brief history of the limited palette. Zorn was not the first but certainly a most notable practitioner, and with his virtuoso alla prima brushwork and ranks high amongst his well-known contemporaries — John Singer Sargent and Joaquín Sorolla. Following a presentation of Zorn’s work, we’ll proceed with palette mixing exercises and build the first of two limited-color reference charts.
