What is YOUR favorite combo?
What’s a combo
@@LearntoDraw343 combo of paints 🎨 where you chose your own colors to make your own palette...
my personal favorite color combo is a yellow-orange color and a reder leaning purple, with white and panes gray lots of fun tricks!!!
I love light pastels, such as very light green, lime green, pastel yellow etc..
@@user-dd9tf6vu7k ooh this is interesting
I find the Zorn palette endlessly fascinating. In pencil form, this is called "trois crayon." It's white, sanguine, and black. Especially when used on toned paper, this has a similar effect and can produce beautiful results. Also if you use a black that leans more blue, you can get some very subtle blues and greens by mixing with white and yellow. As it is, the portrait's eye reads as blue because it's placed next to the red of the eye socket. So amazing!
Oh man! That's exciting!! I definitely will check it out
❤
I have been drawing like that for ages I didn't realise it had a name. I use grey or brown paper and use graphite pencil to sketch, then white conte and sanguine pencil, (If you have never used a conte sanguine I recommend it, it does not adhere well and needs fixative but it is a beautiful natural rust red the white is great too) and a Japanese black brush pen. I usually add blue too with derwent watercolour pencil, this is nice because you can fade and wash with a touch of water, great for distant scenery and trees.
@@ericconnor8419🙏sounds so inspiring - I Will be trying that out too 🖤🩶💛❤️
Wow. It's always mind boggling to me as a non-artist how someone can start with coarse slashes of seemingly random colors and end up with something so beautiful, rich, and nuanced. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!!
With this style it feels a bit like sculpting. Pulling positive and negative space, then adjusting tone around the edge of the larger spaces, then continuing to make smaller changes in detail. It’s like a photograph being exposed, almost, developing over time to have all the intricacy at the end.
As a dabbler I also find the big slashes less scary to start with. It’s going to be honed later so the stakes aren’t as scary!
And here's the REALLY amzing thing. I'm a digital artist, and I still find it fascinating that what I started out with seems like nothing, but by the end of it (if I'm lucky and don't foul it up!) is a good picture. And when I say good, I mean within the boundaries of my ever evolving learning about the craft I have chosen, as there is no such as a PERECT piece of artwork.
This is actually the palette of Polygnotus that was used by the Ancient Greeks and also by Byzantine iconographers . All my icons are painted with this palette and it’s amazing with colours you can create. You haven’t even touched the surface of the greens and mauves you can make!
That’s really cool and interesting thank you 👍
Oh wow! That's awesome!
Ikonographics, I was hoping to see more greens in this demo, but fascinating nonetheless.
And how ancient this palette could be: you can find red ochre, yellow ochre, charcoal or bone black and chalk white in naturally available substances.
It's wonderful for me, as a Swede, to hear that a national treasure like Anders Zorn is being celebrated outside of Sweden too. I love his work. They have a very special "feel" to them. Your portrait came out absolutely beautiful! I'm in love!
Painting has always frustrated me being a moderately colorblind person but this is the first time I felt I could revisit it using this limited palette approach. Thank you for posting this.
Please revisit regardless! I've always liked art the most that shows what the artist sees, how they interpret the world around them onto paper/canvas. Impressionist smudges that become sunlight on water or a winking smile. Unexpected combinations of colour or limited palettes that somehow turn into complex skintones and shadow.
I think I'm probably not the only one who'd be fascinated to see through your eyes. Art is a journey :)
This video just about made my day! I live on Zorns Udde ("Cape of Zorn"), where he was based when he painted some of his masterpieces set in the Stockholm archipelago. Naturally, his paintings hold a special place in my heart. His palette and way of capturing light - water in particular - was simply magical..! Funny, how your artistry performed half a world away can increase my gratitude for calling this beautiful place home. The wonders of art!
We know an instructor who says if you're doing it right, a painting should look like you used more colors than you actually did. We don't know if we agree 100% but as we see here, a skilled artist can get a huge apparent range from just a few colors. The great thing about human perception is that the viewer's eye and mind will fill in the missing gaps- the presence of a color evokes its complement!
I know about the Zorn palette and have used it once myself, as well as watched videos on it, but it was marvelous to see the grey 'turn' blue once you'd completed the colour chart. It really shows how colours play off of each other.
Never heard such valuable words, your every single word acts like a beautiful poem, your brush sings a mesmerizing melody on paper and convert your inner soul into your beautiful paintings, the way you have valued the master's precious pallet,i am sure he would be proud to found a disciple like you,you have made his pallet work so aesthetically in your work,
I know my words are not able to fully described,how elegantly you have presented this whole process, but i still tried,
Sending lots of smiles and laughter,
Wishing you a blessed day Our jess 🤗🎨
Thank you so so much! wow
Wow, this is amazing! I wish I could understand how you (wonderful artists) decide to put lots of weird (really random looking) color blobs and a suddenly a real face is emerging from that and totally makes sense! Whaaat? How come? 😅
Oh, and zorn palette - wow, very inspiring. Thank you so much for your videos!!!❤
It's the combination of your talent, knowledge and work ethic that does it for me. Also I need to learn to let go, your brushstrokes feel very unapologetic. I love it.
I have been an amateur artist since childhood, now 82 I still enjoy experimenting with different mediums, Recently I invested in 72 Derwent Ink Pencils and 12 ink blocks. It did not take me long to realize that although I enjoy using the medium the number of pencils was becoming a big drawback. You have helped me so much because now I realize I do not need to have them all near me (I paint from an armchair) all at the same time. Following the Zorn method of painting all I will require is white, black, and 3 colors. So much easier to handle! Thankyou!
i keep hearing about using limited color palettes but didn't hear of zorn palette before. knowing which colors to start with is so helpful. your portrait turned out really nicely!
Yes!! I think you should give a go - thanks for watching :)
THE LIMITED PALETTE , I FEEL THAT WITH THE LIMITED
PALETTE YOU CAN GET MORE REALISTIC COLORS , THE NATURAL SENSE , RATHER THAN OVER COLORING INTHE EXAGGERATED SENSE , THE MASTER'S OF THE PALETTE OFTEN USED A LIMITED PALETTE , FOR THEIR COLORS WERE OFTEN MADE WITH ORGANIC MATERIALS THAT THEY FOUND BECAUSE PAINT WAS SO HARD TO COME BY !! OH , WHAT A BEAUTIFULLY ❤️ PAINTED PIECE ❤️ GREAT REALISM WITH
JUST TWO COLORS AND TWO PIGMENTS , ABSOLUTELY A REMBRANDT YOUNG LADY , ❤️ GREAT JOB ❤️
Yes! Thank you!!
This came out absolutely STUNNING Jess!! One of my favorite paintings and videos from you for sure!!!
Thank you!! Thanks so much for your support
I periodically search specifically for Zorn palette videos because it's so fascinating to watch. 👍👍 for your painting! Very awesome use of the palette!
The Zorn palette really shines for portraits!
Love this!! I am going to have to try it! ❤ You are so much fun to watch.
Inspiration hit differently after watching your video
Thank you so much!
It’s amazing the variety of colors you can mix with just these 4 basic colors, wow. Also, the portrait turned out amazing, you are truly inspiring Jess!!
Loved every moment of you teaching and thank you for sharing all that you do to help us to learn.
Thank you
well done! both: painting and video. thanks for sharing
thank you!
Beautiful, as always. I bet I own these colors. Time to get painting.
You did such a beautiful painting
Thank you!
Jess, you should be so proud of this! This piece is absolutely incredible 😍
It's such a warm and cozy colour palette, I like it. And the broad square impressionistic brush strokes are perfect>
As always your art is stunning! I always get inspired to paint after I see your videos.
Thanks!!
Absolutely gorgeous. I LOVE it.
My medium is colored pencil but just started with gouache. I’m definitely trying this! I think it’s perfect to get to know the medium. Oh, the possibilities!
Thanks! Yep!!
I’ve been loving your recent videos Jess, you always inspire me to go grab my sketchbook after seeing you create 😊
Jess, you push me the most to create with your gentle approach and making art such a great way to intimate with life! Wordless, You the best!
Plus you've GOT to make more Master Studies. NOTHING sparks me to draw than studying our Art Scholars work and technique.
You are super talented Jess!!! His eyes look crystal blue!!
Amazing! Thank you, I am going to try that palette too.❤
WOW, Jess!
Me, everytime with your videos: "Can it get better?" . Next video: "Yes, it keeps getting better".
I'm not only impress with your drawings, but the energy, the joy and beauty you share. Thank you so much for feeding this space with so much love and inspiration! 🌹🌈🎨
Thank you Maria~!
So interesting! I learned to paint using a limited palette of five to six colours. I love doing colour charts/grids/experiments. I also love seeing others experimenting with colour.
This was fascinating to watch...how you brought him to life...I can't wait to try this out..the range of that palette is crazy...bravo Jess...another masterpiece study!
Jesse i really want to thank you, i swear because of you I was able to finish a whole sketchbook, looking to your sketchbook tour, you encouraged me alot, i thought it was impossible to finish a sketchbook but I guess you just need to watch the right content, so thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤❤ i would love it if you could look at the sketchbook
Jess*
Wow... learned something very new today! Thank you! I'm going to experiment with this palette myself soon. 🥰
Extremely well done. Fantastic art, and I love the cinematic feel of this video, with the music coming in at just the right times. Great job Jess, just enthralling and a joy to watch.
Beautiful job Jess!!
What an amazing process. I always learn something new when I watch your videos, Jess.
This is ABSURD!!!!! I love the way the “bold” initial brush strokes turn into such a detailed peace in the end. Great video and amazing work! Just won a follower ❤

I learned something new from you Jess again! This painting was very nice!
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL 😖😍
Amazing… I have never heard of the Zorn Palette until now. Fascinating stuff. And your painting is remarkable!
Thank you Amanda!!
I want to become an artist and I'm learning many tips from your channel. Thanks a lot
Thank you so much for watching
If you're already creating art then you are already an artist. And I'm positive that you are a great one!
I am captivated by the look in his eyes here. So much emotion. Really beautiful painting.
Looks stunning. Love the brush strokes ❤
It’s such an interesting pallet, it would be interesting to use this pallet but add in the compliments of the yellow and red to mix in those muted colors/chromatic gray but keeping it in the yellow red range.
Yes! Definitely. Thanks!
Amazing painting and great demonstration of using a limited palette!
Beautiful portrait, and I've learned not only about this amazing technique but also about an artist I wasn't familiar with. Thank you!
Oh my gosh, this became BEAUTIFUL
Awesome work Jess. Thank you for doing that. Love your work 🤙
I always find Zorn palette colours fascinating, love your creation ❤️❤️❤️
Nobody inspires me the way you do... You make me want to delve into the world of colour and explore... Please do more paint with me videos... You bring so much confidence with those videos ❤
Thank you!
Your work is amazing 😍 ❤️
Thank you
I had never heard of the Zorn pallet until now, I feel like I have been living under a rock. Thank you so much!! I feel like this will help out with my instruction and model painting!
I agree with you, I'm amazed at how versatile a limited palette is. I have never tried the Zorn palette, but you've inspired me to try! Thank you 😊 your painting came out beautiful!
Thank you!!!
I am not very good but been painting a while, with water colour and acrylic so far. I’m going to try that colour plan you did, it’s not too different from the colour charts but yet specific for the painting. I feel that’d be a big help to me. The palette is great. Really good video by the way ~ this style I’m going to try as well.... it seems to make things a lot easier for me yet has so much depth. Love it.
That said, my skill is still low but hopefully I can improve quick...
Such an awesome video and idea, you can just see the emotion on the subjects face and thats so cool to create that out of paper and paint. Thanks as always for the great inspiration!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it
Thanks Jess for another awesome video! I always learn so much from you!
Thank you!!
Hullo Jess, I had a watercolor class in college and we used the Zorn palette for 6 weeks! My instructor said we needed to mix with a flat or scrubber brush as Zorn was an Oil Painter and measured the amounts of paint with a palette knife and we can use a stiff square brush the same way. This also saves your expensive rounds that might be to soft for mixing or wear them out, destroying the tips with mixing colors! Just something to consider moving forward with this limited palette. I did ok with the limited choices but it has been many years since I have found a need to use it. I much prefer to be spoiled and using convenience colors is just easier for me. I have received quite a few comments on your paintings and I hope some have gotten to your site to make purchases of their own! Thank you.
that is one of the best paintings i've ever saw
Thank you!
Your palette mixing reminds me of my favorite game app called Blendoku! What a fun video and a great outcome.
I’ve had a note in my journal to try the Zorn palette for ages! This piece is stunning Jess
Bravo 👏. Riveting i literally just stood on my bathroom for 11 minutes watching you and I wasn't disappointed.
Stunning as usual Jess. Strangely I was thinking of trying a limited palette n then saw ur video😂now I’m certainly going to try it. Thank you always for ur inspiring videos.
I love to experiment with limited palettes as well. It's so interesting to watch your experiment! The portrait turned out absolutely stunning! 👏
I just found your channel and I’m amazed by its simplicity and profoundness. Hugs from Brazil
You create such a variety of different types of artwork. So grateful for your channel❤
Absolutely beautiful job and very inspiring!❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful. I find it amazing how a piece of art can bring such strong emotion. Watching the painting come to life was truly amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Ahmazzinng!!! You are an amazing artist...love and light to you as well!❤🎉
And this is definitely one of my favs!!!😍
WOW such a beautiful video Jess ! I really enjoyed this one. As I have revently changed to stippling it was nice to watch colour in a limited palette being used! Makes me wonder if this could be achieved with stippling in these colours too! ❤
Thank you!! Awesome!
Fantastic Jess !
Really wanted this video .
Love from India ❤
Thanks!!
I just love your art videos, your skill and talent have just grown with time. You videos are not just about art, but make one feel like they are on an adventure with you!
Now to stop procrastinating on trying the Zorn color palette with the gouache I have.👩🏻🎨
Dear Jess, your videos are so up-lifting and inspiring, I love your message and your attitude and I'm really grateful that you share your journey and insights with us, it's a true gift and I thank you ❤
This has totally inspired me to go work on a limited palette piece. This exercise is just what I was looking for!
Early magazine illustration often used a half-tone process with only orange and black ink, plus the white of the paper! Some of them are shown in the lead-in of this video.
Beautiful work. I'll have to give this palette a try sometime. It's difficult for me to lean into muted palettes. I've lately been leaning towards a more high-key CMYK-inspired palette. Actually, I usually try to exclude black unless the colors I'm using together just are not capable of creating a dark enough value. I find it's pretty sly how Zorn utilized a cool-leaning black to help create his blue colors. Thanks for the demonstration.
Hi Jess, that is beautiful… you’re such a great artist 😁
om goodness, I loved watching this. Every time I watch one of your videos y fingers itch to pull out my sketch pad a open up my paints! I can't wait to paint! thank you for dedication and positive thoughts. I learn so much from your videos!
Wow, this is a beautiful portrait. Being a Swede I marvel at this, I never knew Zorn used this limited kind of palette.
Thanks for introducing me to Zorn and his limited palette concept. You really got a lot of mileage out of it. Bright blessings. 💖
Thank you!
Hey Jess!! very good video! informative and aesthetic! 😀😁 Always good to see your name pop up in my feed!
I agree, using a limited palette guarantees that your colors will go together
I really love your art, you inspired me to start drawing/painting. Thank you so much i will never stop watching your videos! Keep it up queen
Thank you so much!!
