Generated Thick Descriptor (via Chat-GPT 4): Tonalism is an art style characterized by a dominant tone in a muted color scheme, usually with dark, neutral hues like gray, brown, or blue. This style features landscapes enveloped in a colored atmosphere or mist, creating a mood-focused, abstract representation. To produce tonalistic art, use these key elements: paint with muted, neutral tones, focusing on atmosphere and mood over detail. The composition often includes suggestive, rather than explicit, representation of forms.
