Palette Analysis
Values in John Bauer rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Warm hues command this palette; John Bauer favours the reds, oranges, and yellows of firelight and earth. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. Only 5.5% is devoted to #CAB3A1, yet that small allocation delivers the palette's entire chromatic tension. Spanning 52 units on the value axis, the palette achieves the balance between tonal flatness and fragmentation. John Bauer's palette 5 carries its own internal logic while remaining in conversation with the artist's broader colour intelligence.
