Values in Maerten van Heemskerck rest in the mid-range - neither dramatically lit nor steeped in shadow. Maerten van Heemskerck orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Muted throughout, the palette achieves its effects through value and temperature rather than chromatic force. The most saturated colour, #B1534D, is reserved to 6.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. The full value range is 56 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 3 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Maerten van Heemskerck's complete body of work advances.
