after working with B&W for a while i always get the urge to refresh my palate with colour so i did this today for some painting practice :)
i recently discovered the Zorn palette and was shocked i hadn't heard about it before since i paint almost exclusively in those tones to begin with!! since then i've been thinking nonstop about using it and what to do for my next major painting.
i'm not sure if this one is Zorn-compliant but already i feel a lot more confident about ditching blue. it's actually exciting to have an excuse to formally drop blue from my paintings as i always seem to give into the temptation of using it to bump contrast, and then wonder why the blue-less underpainting always looks much nicer to me lol... i love limited complementary palettes but i've finally found my higher calling 🙏
