Cool blue and taupe with angular stone-like geometric forms and a distinctive arched border framing the composition. Background generates fractured architectural planes within the arch. Figure is clean and graphic against the cool structured surround. Architectural and precise with a classical framing quality.

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.

Rich impasto in warm plum-mauve and cool blue with large loose visible brushstrokes unifying figure and background. Background generates rounded organic forms from the same energetic brushwork. The surface is alive throughout — one of the more genuinely painterly styles in the set.

Pale watercolour-like ground with soft grey-blue shadow marks and rose-pink accents catching at knees hands and floor. Dark forms loom in the upper corners. The surface has a first-pull silkscreen quality — colour present but not yet fully arrived. Delicate and slightly unresolved.

Deep indigo and navy forms fill the background in large bold brushstrokes with warm brown-ochre accents. Figure stands in pale blue-grey tones against the turbulent dark surround. Rich impasto character with genuine menace — the dark masses press in from all sides.

Cool blue-grey and warm ochre-gold impasto with large diagonal brushstrokes creating a herringbone pattern across the entire surface. Figure and background unified in the same energetic mark-making. Flattering and enveloping — this style wraps its subject in warmth and movement.

Warm teak-brown and golden angular planes fill the background in strong tonal modelling — carved wood or folded leather rendered in faceted geometry. Figure merges into the same warm brown tonal range. Rich and unified — the entire image breathes in one warm key.

Irregular fragments in blue ochre warm taupe white and rose cover the entire surface in a varied and energetic mosaic. Figure built from the same colourful planes with red shoes catching the eye. More saturated and lively than Crockery — the palette of a well-stocked tile market.

Pale blue and cream angular planes fill the background in large airy blocks — bright and open rather than heavy. Figure painted in warm flesh tones against the luminous cool ground. Light-filled and confident.

Saturated yellow ground with vertical streaks and drips of red orange and blue running through the composition like paint in motion. Figure painted in warm flesh and orange-red tones fully absorbed into the blazing ground. Hot gestural and overwhelming.
