How the colors work
Fawn leads with 37% of the painting, and sand follows with 11%.
Its values run from 3 (mushroom) to 7 (sand), on a scale from 0 (black) to 10 (white): a middle range, neither hard nor hazy.
It leans warm: warm colors cover 78%, cool ones 8%.
Straw and cobalt sit on opposite sides of the color wheel, so each makes the other look stronger (see complementary colors).
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.
