Konstantin Bogaevsky works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Konstantin Bogaevsky builds on cool foundations: the palette favours the blue-cyan-green arc. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The saturated accent, #5B4B2B, registers at 5.5% - sparse enough to feel like a deliberate surprise. From deepest dark to palest light, the palette traverses 62 units of the value scale - a span that creates natural depth. The palette has the character of outdoor light: cool, mid-bright, with colour rendered faithfully rather than expressively. This is palette 1 of Konstantin Bogaevsky's sequence - a single chapter in a chromatic story told across many works.
