nude painting (nu) distributes its values across the middle register, creating harmony without high contrast. The palette orchestrates warmth above all else - reds, ambers, and siennas take the lead. Chroma is kept low across all colours, producing the soft, enveloping quality that characterises tonal painting. The most saturated colour, #B48A54, is reserved to 10.2% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. A value spread of 58 units gives the palette both depth and air - shadows are genuinely dark, lights genuinely light.
