The Story of Charles Hayter and the Painters Palette
Charles Hayter’s “The Painter’s Palette,” depicts the mixing of the three primary colours—red, yellow, and blue. This illustration is crucial as it visually demonstrates the foundational principles of colour blending that underpin all painting.
Hayter emphasises that from these three primary colours, artists can create a vast spectrum of secondary and tertiary colours by mixing them in varying proportions. For instance, combining red and yellow produces orange, yellow and blue creates green, and blue and red yield purple. These secondary colours, in turn, can be further mixed with primaries or each other to create an extensive palette of hues.
This illustration not only showcases practical colour mixing techniques but also highlights the harmonious relationships between colours. Hayter’s approach encourages artists to understand colour as a systematic element rather than merely intuitive.
By mastering the interactions of primary colours, artists can achieve greater control over the emotional and visual impact of their paintings, enhancing their ability to convey mood, atmosphere, and narrative through colour choices.
