Why this course
Too many tubes of paint can overwhelm and complicate your process. At the same time, one of the most significant challenges for painters is creating lifelike, diverse skin tones. This course combines the clarity of minimal palettes with the sensitivity of mixing skin colours across nationalities — giving you freedom, confidence, and respect in your colour choices.
Benefits
- Build confidence with minimal palettes that offer depth without clutter.
- Learn how Old Masters achieved richness with astonishingly limited colours.
- Master skin colour mixing with accuracy, diversity, and humanity.
- Use the Zorn palette for timeless, subtle flesh tones, then expand into nuanced mixes.

Who it’s for
Perfect for portrait and figurative artists, or any painter who wants both the discipline of a strong palette and the ability to mix skin tones that feel alive, respectful, and true.
