In this course with Natalia Tomás Segovia on an introduction to Anders Zorn’s palette we will learn step by step how to create a portrait with a professional finish from start to finish using only 4 colors: ocher yellow, vermilion red, ivory black and white. Natalia will teach us from the beginning with the drawing to the control of the reference points through the correct alternation of temperatures until reaching the vital importance of the composition.

A course in which Natalia Segovia, through advice, theoretical explanations and its subsequent practical application, will offer us a fundamental tour of one of the hallmarks and emblem of the Swedish author: her way of understanding portraiture, brushstrokes and her exquisite mastery of color synthesis.

Through fifteen videos lasting almost 5 hours we will see the following topics:

  • Materials. Palette, solvents, brushes, support, etc.
  • Zorn’s palette. Balance. Durability.
  • Theory of color. Points of reference. Broken.
  • Maximum lights. Transparent and opaque colors. Integration.
  • Volumes, planes, depth.
  • Saturation, reflections, perspective, symmetry.
  • Alternation of temperatures, cast and own shadows, final details and much more.

About the artist

Natalia Segovia

Natalia Segovia

Spanish painter.

Natalia Tomás de Segovia, born the year 1985 at the province of Albacete, got a degree on Fine Arts on the Facultad de San Carlos de Valencia, being teached on a vast variety of techniques and styles, which deviated from the more traditional to the most modern and contemporary.

After some years dedicated to different professional activities, Natalia returned to her real vocation: painting, especially on the topic that passionated her and at which she was best: portraits. Before the comeback, her style started to develop, turning into a Contemporanean Realism, inspired by the baroque and inter-centuries classics.

And since this comeback, she has obtained a lot of achievements, like, for example, the first prize of painting of “la Casa del Alumno de la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia”, in addition to the increasement of her expositions and the incorporation of the docence into her professional activity, teaching courses and workshops.
