In week five, Steve Huston explores two influential approaches to limited color. He demonstrates the Zorn palette of white, black, red, and yellow ochre, as well as the Brown School method, showing how master figure painters achieved a wide range of effects with a restricted set of pigments. This lesson reveals how a limited palette can serve as a powerful tool for unity and expression in figure painting.
