I've got a book about Nicholas de Stael from the library. I love his contrasts of colour - passages of very saturated in your face colour and very neutral, subtle greys, flattened shapes, texture around each block of colour, like hedges round fields.

A quick mess in my sketchbook with just two colours got me inspired
I enjoyed the contrasts, how the colours overlapped, the small blocks of colour against their contrasting ground. So get a canvas out and get going:
I'm going to get a different hue of grey and cover alot of the RHS, and maybe the LHS as well.
