Marie Tassaert occupies the comfortable middle of the value scale, avoiding both extremes to hold the eye in a sustained middle grey. Warmth dominates - the palette of Marie Tassaert 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. #252122 at 27.2% of the palette: an overwhelming presence that pulls all other colours into its gravitational field. The highest-chroma note - #944838 - appears at just 3.8%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. The full value range is 55 units: broad enough to build convincing three-dimensional form. Palette 1 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Marie Tassaert's complete body of work advances.
