Paper with orange or red color works especially well as a background with the charcoal and chalk technique, I think. I do enjoy working with a variety of paper colors and probably use grey most often. But the red background adds some realistic color to the figure which is quite lovely, don't you think?
The title of this piece reminds me of Sam Cooke's song. Does it for anyone else?

the red background is perfect for this figure painting!! She's beautifully painted!!! LOVE the red paper.
You did a wonderful job of getting the twist of the torso just right. Very complex so congratulations!
Yes, the red paper is beautiful with the drawing. These last two drawings are just gorgeous.
