Muted Tones

The palette stays soft and subdued throughout, with figures, streets, gardens and quiet still lifes rendered in gentle, dusty tones rather than anything bold. Portraits, riverside views and studies of fruit or moths share this same hushed restraint, giving a calm, unforced mood. Muted tones like these settle easily into a living room or spa.
