A few days ago, I decided that I wanted to record a short color study for a new YouTube video. I honestly thought I would spend at most an hour on it, but it ended up being nearly 2 1/2 hours, and a little more than a simple color study. With the help of a few new brushes, I was able to pull off a very small and much more detailed master copy. So here it is in full. Throughout, I talk about what I'm doing, but also the importance of master copies, a little bit of my history as an artist, and various other random ramblings about art. Hope you enjoy!

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!
