Portrait painting using the Zorn Palette

Being an oil painting newbie, I really enjoyed the simplicity the Zorn Palette offers. Using only three colours and of course white made the process so much more straightforward and satisfying.

In addition to the Zorn self-portrait reference, I practised the palette with a couple more references from John Singer Sargent this time.
