This class is designed for artists who already have some experience drawing or painting portraits and want to learn how to translate those skills into oil paint in a clear and efficient way. By working with a simple Zorn palette of just four colors (black, red, yellow, and white), we remove the guesswork from color mixing and focus on what really builds a strong portrait: drawing, value, and edge control.
