Thank you. In this case I decided to eliminate unnecessary clutter behind my model, since I felt that by simplifying the composition I will make the painting stronger. However, the picture is not devoid of details, but I tried to play them down by lowering chroma and adjusting slightly their hue to neighboring colours, since I wished that sitter's face remains the main focus of the painting.
There are lot of small compositional devices employed here, however. The sitter's robe is executed using three primaries, and the secondary green is saved for the background. I tried to unify the overall design by careful arrangement of geometrical shapes (mostly triangles) of various sizes and orientation, which are hinted here and there throughout the composition.
