wildlife painting works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Temperature is cool-dominant, with blue and green families claiming the largest areas. Mid-range chroma keeps the palette grounded - colourful but not strident. The highest-chroma note - #47221A - appears at just 2.2%, deployed as a precision accent against the quieter ground. 70 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. High luminosity and cool temperature suggest the plein-air condition: unfiltered daylight and open sky.
