A horizontal band of deep black and charcoal cuts across layered washes of slate blue and pale grey, creating a stark division between stormy upper tones and softer, almost ethereal lower passages. Translucent brushwork and textured overlays give the composition depth, while the central dark form suggests both weight and mystery against the lighter, more open areas surrounding it. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
