How many paints do you need in your collection? SIX !
Zorn Limited Palette Technique – Conclusion:
I really had a lot of fun trying out this ‘new to me’ technique of model painting.
I found it really easy to play with, quite intuitive, and surprisingly relaxing.
I would highly recommend it to everyone, especially if you are burnt out or stuck in a groove.
Finding my own colours and being able to darken or lighten them without having to go to a different bottle was just a joy.
Non-metallics are easier to do but obviously metallics would have to be added for any scheme that needed them.
One thing I found was that as you are creating all your colours from a very small palette they all seem to tie in better together.
In conclusion then:
Would I throw out my vast collection of paints now that I had tried this technique? – OF COURSE NOT !
Will I still use other techniques and commercial ranges of paint? – oh yes.
Will I use this technique in future? – Certainly, it is fantastic and I can’t wait to try it with oils instead of acrylics.
Zorn Rules!
