Palette Analysis

Frans Wouters distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. A distinctly cool atmosphere runs through this palette: sky, water, and mist given colour form. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. #B9A27A functions as the palette's exclamation mark: highest chroma, lowest percentage (10.7%). At 62 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 Frans Wouters's full range of palettes, group 2 represents one movement in an ongoing chromatic dialogue.
