I love that you're attempting this challenge at your own pace! It's a nice reminder that we can make our own rules sometimes. Both the paintings turned out wonderful! This really motivates me to try this challenge out for myself!

I definitely feel motivated to try it, but I have just started to learn about drawing human faces. So might try making black and white sketches or so :D

@@mrs.joestar Aw that's amazing! I am so happy to have you here :-) 💛

The Zorn pallete is a revelation. The infinite varieties of value that can be created from yellow ochre, ivory Black, alizarin crimson cadmium red and titanium white is genuinely astounding. By reducing the choices available it is somehow easier to concentrate on the painting. It's almost freeing. And tye Mote you use it, the less desire you have to go jack to a massive range of colour. It's not so useful in landscapes but can create a muted look . Your portraits are so vigorous. Love them. I'm going to have a go at 100 and see if 8 can progress any

@@LulArt yes. The alizarin makes pinkier pinks. It's got more zizz. I knownits probably not the traditional line up but it gives another dimension. I onownits probably cheating. I forgot to mention raw umber.

Thank you for the lovely comment! I have been wanting to try the Zorn palette for ages, I think it suits portraiture so well. I really enjoy the muted-looking greens you can achieve with ivory black, yellow ochre, and titanium white. You've inspired me to finally give it a go! I'll try the traditional zorn palette first and then I'll try it with your additions (Alizarin and raw umber are two of my favourites, both staples in my palette!) Thanks for sharing your knowledge/experience with everyone. Good luck with the challenge, if you give it a try- I think you'll have a lot of fun! :-) 💛

I started the 100 head but stopped after 10, but even doing those few I learned so much! This gives me motivation to do more

I really struggle with gouache too, but am also persevering because I’ve bought the paints now… I am going to use them haha 😂

Haha I think about it in that way too! I'm way too stubborn to give up trying 😂 Good luck on your gouache journey!!

If you use watercolor, I would give the viridian green and alizaron crimson combo another go. It’s one of my favorite limited palettes and works so well in watercolor

I am absolutely going to try this! I can see how that would be such a lovely palette in watercolor :-) thank you so much for the suggestion!

@arleebean has a wonderful video series on painting in limited palettes in watercolour. It might be neat to see how some of those unique combinations translate to oil or gouache.

Ooh I'll have to check those out! Limited palettes are so much fun, and great for stretching those art muscles. Thanks so much for watching Kristy!

The Winsor and Newton clear gesso is the best. Smooth texture and actually drives completely clear, no milky finish. And craft acrylic paint gives the same effect and is a lot cheaper 💜✨️

That limited palette with Viridian and Alizarin sounds interesting but really hard. Love to know how that watercolour ground works out. I've never heard of such a product! I've tried the Zorn palette with watercolour and it was surprisingly versatile! I want to give it a go with gouache sometime.

I've been wanting to do the 100 heads challenge with paint! I'm excited to see the next portraits from you as well as how your portraits evolve throughout the challenge :]

Hi there! I am so glad you found my channel and are enjoying my videos! 💛 As for the 100 heads references, I have a public Pinterest board with over 100 heads to choose from. I have it linked in the description box of my newer 100 heads videos, you can also search @emhuesart on Pinterest and you should find my page! 😊

From another art KZreadr @thefrugalcrafter I've learned clear gesso from liquitex is a really good base for coloured pencils and pastels because of the grittiness. How are your portraits going now?
