Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Ink, tempera and vellum suit close reading at a small scale.

Marks and structure

Fine outlines and pale modelling make gestures legible without heavy paint.

Palette and light

Grisaille keeps much of the image restrained; small coloured details become especially noticeable.
