YouTube Vlog #20 - Landscape Color Study with Zorn Palette

Hey everyone,

I posted this video a few days ago, but forgot to put it up here.  This is my latest vlog where I talk a little bit about the Zorn palette once again, and show you a quick time lapse of a small landscape study using this limited palette of colors.

The unique challenge of using the Zorn palette for a landscape painting is making a convincing statement without the use of a higher chroma green beyond black+yellow ochre.  Additionally, black is the only "blue" that you have to work with.  So, many of the cool color notes that you might expect to see in a nature scene are lacking, but on the other hand, it doesn't necessarily prevent you from doing more with less.  Hopefully you'll see what I mean... enjoy!
