The composition balances still life tradition with a modern, understated palette, rendered in soft watercolor tones that create an intimate, contemplative mood. 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.
