\u201cI\u2019d been painting for 15 years before I heard about this palette,\u201d says Christina Kent, a San Francisco-based oil painter. \u201cMy first reaction was, \u2018Why didn\u2019t I hear about this sooner?!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

This limited palette was pioneered by Anders Zorn<\/a>, a Swedish portrait artist active primarily in the early 1900s, and is often referred to as the \u201cZorn palette.\u201d He is said to have worked with Lead White, Yellow Ochre, Vermilion, and Ivory Black.<\/p>\n

Kent\u2019s version of the palette consists of four paints: Titanium White, Cadmium Red Light Pure, Yellow Ochre, and Payne\u2019s Grey from the Utrecht Artists\u2019 Oil Colors line<\/a>. In essence, each of these colors is standing in for the primary colors, with Payne\u2019s Grey serving as blue.<\/p>\n
