How the colors work
Sand leads with 23% of the painting, and charcoal follows with 20%.
Sage is the accent: only 2% of the painting, but enough to lift the rest.
Its values run from 3 (charcoal) to 7 (sand), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.
Most of it is near-neutral (71% of these colors): grays, browns and creams that let the few real colors speak.
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.
