Daniel Sherrin Palette 3

Palette Analysis

Daniel Sherrin works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Cool tones set the register here - the blues and greens easily outweigh any warm accents. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Daniel Sherrin gives 36.0% of the composition to a single #D6D7D1 - a decisive chromatic anchor. #704B26 delivers the chromatic peak at only 7.5% - a small shot of colour with outsized visual impact. At 66 units of value range, the palette has the tonal breadth to sustain complex spatial readings. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. In the context of Daniel Sherrin's full range of palettes, group 3 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
