Lately I've been fascinated with the palette of Anders Zorn, especially after viewing one of his original works, The Waltz, on display at Biltmore in Asheville, NC. Having only used four tubes of paint that are not necessarily primary colors, he was able to achieve so much. I had to give it a try. Upon further study, I learned that at his death Zorn possess 17 tubes of Cerulean Blue. So he didn't always use four tubes of paint, but I was going to when studying three of his paintings of which this is one. And I did it. Only to learn that Zorn probably used the four-color palette for portraits and nudes and the additional color or two for landscapes. The next challenge will be to study his more figurative work.
