Palette Analysis

Henry Pickering distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. Warmth dominates - the palette of Henry Pickering leans heavily on the yellow-orange-red arc of the colour wheel. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #953E3E, is reserved to 11.9% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 64 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Henry Pickering's complete body of work advances.
