I chose Aphrodite because she has a lot of flesh showing and I really wanted to see what a non-artist like myself could achieve and because as a God figure she stands about 65mm high. This meant that I could play more, be less exact and see what was happening.

Challenge 2: Painting Aphrodite using the Zorn Limited Palette technique:

I downloaded a couple of Palette test sheets to get some ideas and then just put paint to palette and played.

I really had great fun with it and was truly amazed at how easy and intuitive it was.

This wasn’t intended to be a work of art – just a technique test piece – but I was very happy with the result. Everything on the model (except the primer – Wraith Bone) including the base, was just using these four colours and blending and mixing them on the palette and model.
