Old master studies are a helpful tool for understanding classical painting techniques.  In this tutorial Vadim will use a Zorn palette in this alla prima approach to a master study painting.  Named after the internationally successful artist Anders Zorn, the palette will be limited to 4 colors to help simplify and control value and color temperature.  The portrait of Elizabeth Garrett Anderson by John Singer Sargent will be used as a reference.  The process will be kept simple beginning with large abstract shapes and slowly building forms and skin tones. Bio: Vadim Zanginian graduated from the Art and Theatre Institute where he trained in Russian Academic traditions in painting the figure. From 1994-2003 he worked as a graphic designer and completed many contemporary graphics logos and posters for rock singers including Cher, Paul McCartney, and Moody Blues. He also provided his graphic skills to leading companies like Guess, Harley Davidson, and Hard Rock Cafe. In his art, Vadim aims to get an impression in limited time with a limited palette.
