A soft complementary contrast of muted purples and creams comes in to play in this piece. The gestural alla prima quality of the painting is left apparent with the fusion of the toned background with the final composition.

This piece was painted alla prima with a simple pallet of
1. First the ground was toned with Burnt Umber + Ultramarine Blue. Then the figure was roughly sketched in with paint as one would a gesture drawing, finally refining and adjusting with a turp dipped cu-tip. 2. After pre- mixing most of the skin tones, the darker shadows were painted in first, paying attention to the variety of hues present. 3. Though the body was mostly completed first, the whole painting was kept moving so as to clarify judgment of hues and tones for the whole piece.
