In this video, we'll be copying a work by the master Diego Velázquez. It's a portrait of the Baroque painter Diego de Pareja. This time, we'll be working with a limited color palette, specifically the one by Anders Zorn that we showed you in the previous video exercise. With just four oil paints, we'll achieve countless colors and tones suitable for portraiture, with the advantage that this type of limited palette offers: maintaining color harmony.
It's important to mention the order in which you paint a portrait. While it's important in painting in general, it's essential when working on this subject, which is more demanding and less forgiving of mistakes. I hope you enjoy the video and find it helpful as you delve into portraiture.
