Different Styles, Different Palettes

Hi Tony -

Shanks and Zorn evidence very different styles, so to me it seems logical that their approach to their palettes differ. Zorn has a lot of movement and high expressiveness. If he had added many colors on top of that, it might have been too much, so I think he chose wisely in limiting his colors.

Personally, as an artist in the process of learning the basics, Shank's palette would be too much f or me to deal with at the moment.

Respectfully,
Julie
