Figurative painting is one of the more challenging tasks for an artist. In this tutorial, Vadim will share his alla prima approach using the Zorn palette. 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. Vadim will demonstrate how to achieve a large range of tone and color through mixing. The process of figure construction will be kept simple, focusing on accurate geometric shapes and surface planes before developing complex forms. 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.
