Colours used were Titanium White, Yellow Ochre, Cadmium Red and Ivory Black - so unless I’m mistaken, this is the Anders Zorn palette. Strange that she never mentioned the fact…
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

That is indeed the Zorn palette, though Zorn would have used lead white.  I wish I had her studio - I'd produce a lot more work.

You’re not mistaken Alan, it is the very same. I always start with this and add in where necessary. I do like it. Just seen your post Robert - yes, wouldn’t it be marvellous to have Space. I’m sure I’d produce masterpieces…though the niggling doubt is that I’d just produce a bigger mess in the room than I do now.

I've just been searching online for a fold up table to put my Palette and paints on. It's got to be cheaper than getting the paint off my jumper sleeves.  I think it is a general studio used by all the programs, not her own.

Yes, it’s a good starting palette for most flesh tones, an excellent point made Marjorie, then add to it with say a cool blue, raw umber and so on as you wish… He would indeed have used lead white Robert, sadly we don’t have an option any more. I’ve used my large tube up so that’s it. They’re all set in this same studio so far, as Norrette has said, but it is rather nice I must admit…

Sara Reeve again on tonight's first episode.  Using only two v. large brushes, on how to loosen up in portraiture.  She's so very good!  Followed by the wonderful charcoal artist, creating one of the most difficult portrait subjects....a family member! His name escapes me.

She’s so good, not only can she paint, but she knows how to get her point over in an interesting manner…  Her first portrait was so good, and she’s followed it up with this brilliant episode. Its got to be a challenge for most of us to paint entirely using a 1.5in flat brush, I think it was Rosemary & Co…but definitely worth a go. The guy treated us to another very accurate and accomplished charcoal portrait of his daughter… no grid method for him! What more could we ask for! I’ve just looked at the forthcoming episodes and there are 20 in total. Adibanji again on figures in a landscape which should be of interest to some of us, myself included! Sara Reeve portrait:

I'll definitely be giving a big brush portrait a go. The chap moved around his portrait so methodically there was much to learn from his approach.

"figures in a landscape". I look forward to that.  I have a New Year's resolution...avoid empty landscapes - something inspired by the Van Gogh exhibition.

One thing to bear in mind with both of these demos is that the photo reference is the same size as your work is going to be - and the larger the better. Unfortunately this may involve an A3 printer. I’m referring to the larger brush technique especially.
