In My Room II - chromatic greys/figurative exploration

Using a red ground, I experimented with chromatic greys again on A1 paper in oil. Wanting to make the colours play off each other without characteristically getting too gaudy and colourful, I stuck to colour theory, using only lemon yellow, cadmium red, cobalt blue and titanium white to conjure up tonal greys, hinting with green to offset the complimentary red background.
I'm hoping to study more colour theory and work on my complimentary colours, alternating ground colours and working towards a comprehensive understanding of colour so as to not get too trigger happy with my permanent rose (guilty!)
Working at confidently placing the figure in space is also prominent in my practice, instead of rigidly sitting within a graphite underdrawing, I have painted and rubbed away painted outlines so as to build a depth to the composition and freely building an environment within which my figure can sit.
