Materials, marks and colour
Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.
Media and surface

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.
