I gave it a go this morning to follow up on my previous move on the background color... and decided to tip the scale towards blue to counter the sienna. I also timidly experimented with accents of lime green and purple to see what effect that would have... I feel like I'm walking on a tight rope!
Now, I need to address the figure to stamp out that "cut out" look... that general feeling that the runner doesn't yet belong to his environment! For that, I cooled down the whole color scheme to reduce the sienna, and darkened the background...
I think I'm in business... I've got the look I'm after... that of a 200 pound gorilla that commands respect! One more pass with restraint should do it... to get rid of the patchy look. At some point in time, I was not sure if I was coming or going... but with fast painting, there is no time to worry, one action leading to another...
