Inspired by the French Barbizon School of painters, the first to break with academic tradition and to paint en plein air in the early 19th century, American Tonalist painters emphasized feeling and mood in their landscape paintings. Specific time of day and season became the subject, chosen to evoke both drama and tranquility.
While close control of values is a hallmark of Tonalism, these paintings were and continue to be about color as much as about value. Color was modified, held in reserve, by complementary mixing to create neutrals and keeping edges soft to create space and atmosphere.
Our Colors for a Tonalist Palette provides vibrant primaries along with useful colors to control values and create atmosphere, including our warm Ship Rock and the new French Anthracite Gray. Use it with your existing palette, or pair with our Corot Landscape Set or our Set of Color and Light that features colorful chromatic grays.
