Allegory of Spirituality oil painting process

I like the concept of starting with a black and white layer and adding color afterwards! The technique is called grisaille ( say "griz eye" it’s from the french).

Here’s a painting I finished last year. It started randomly and developed a narrative but as with all my art, it is not important that you see what I do in it.

Composition and color are important to the quality of the visual experience and since we all have basically the same spectrum of visible light to work with I can see what you see in terms of shapes and tones, and because I’m an artist I am comfortable that I know what will look pleasing to your eye!
