In dealing with tonal range as a means of modeling the form, we must keep in mind that in the actual painting, transitions are often more powerful when accomplished via hue variations.

In this case, the contrast seems appropriate as the cast shadows DO play a big part in the composition.

My concern is that reaching for a limited tonal range can become harder if one locks the tonal composition early in the game.
