His clothes are of different colors, but the bow tie and the trouser have different shades of green. It is clear from the colors used that he is also organized; the sculpture painting has one color, in contrast to the paintings in the background which use a variety of colors. The use of symmetry and different colors also makes the painting seem real. The background shows that Willy is a keen painter with other paintings, covering the wall, but the sculpture painting is the most prominent.

There is a global coherence structure as there is a clear pattern whereby the environment provides inspiration for painting.
