question Are monochrome paintings ok?




I have a client who wants me to paint her daughters, but since her house is very contemporary, wants a brown/white or black/white effect--she wants oils rather than a charcoal drawing, and I thought I'd do a finished painting in umber to create a kind of sepia effect--but since I usually do that only as an underpainting I wonder if it is ok --that is, professional, or does it sound tacky? I feel almost like I'm doing an incomplete portrait. I have done a preliminary drawing so far. Any ideas?
