How the colors work
Straw rules this painting: it covers 43%, close to half of it.
Ochre is the accent: only 1% of the painting, but strong enough to catch the eye.
Its values run from 3 (charcoal) to 8 (greige), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.
It leans warm: warm colors cover 62%, cool ones under 1%.
The same colors in gray
Each color beside its value, from light to dark. Painters check this to see the painting’s structure without its colors.
