Cool grey with large rounded boulder forms filling the background. The figure stands in front rather than integrating with the surface.

Warm pinks and rose with large painterly forms flanking the figure. Rich and sensuous. The figure feels present and inhabited.

Warm grey and pale pink with tall flowing organic forms flanking the figure. The background generates shapes that read as draped fabric or slow-moving flame. Painterly and calm with understated movement throughout.

Cool grey with large rounded stone forms in the background and a vivid teal-cyan outline tracing the figure's contours. The glowing edge sits sharp against the muted painterly surround. Distinctive and immediate.

Warm grey-brown with tall dark architectural forms flanking the figure on either side. The figure is naturalistically rendered in warm flesh tones against the cool structured surround. Painterly and grounded with a monumental quality.

Cool blue-purple ground with fragmented cream and gold shapes behind a confident figure. Background generates a broken tile or stained glass quality. Bold and slightly psychedelic in register. Figure holds coherence against the fractured surround.

Deep cobalt blue background with warm golden-yellow forms bursting outward in bold impasto. Figure painted in warm cream and flesh tones at the centre of the energy. Theatrical and baroque — stormy sky with golden light breaking through. One of the more dramatically coloured styles in the set.

Deep crimson and burgundy geometric planes sweep through the background in large bold angular forms. Figure rendered in pale white-grey tones against the rich red surround. Dramatic and saturated — the red commands the image. Architectural but warm-blooded.

Warm cream impasto background covered in large swirling floral forms — the brocade fabric of a sofa that was never meant to be sat on. Figure rendered in warm flesh tones that merge politely with the respectable surround. Comfortable and slightly suffocating.

Luminous white cloud forms fill the background with dark charcoal tendril or vine-like marks threading through them. Cool blue-grey at the base. Figure painted in warm flesh tones against the pale open surround. Looser and more organic than Pale Damask — botanical rather than decorative.

Pale azure ground with large draped forms described in clean dark contour line. Figure rendered in the same decisive line with warm flesh tones. One of the more reliably flattering styles available. The clean line finds and elevates the essential form in almost any source.

Dense looping gestural marks fill the ground in cool grey dusty rose and muted red. Teal accents throughout. Figure stands pale against a restless tangled surround. Animated and decorative.
