Seven vertical stripes in muted jewel tones and soft pastels stretch the full height of the composition, each bar rendered in watercolor with subtle texture and organic edges that prevent the palette from feeling rigid. The colors progress from deep forest green through periwinkle blue, bright red, terracotta, pale yellow, forest green again, and dusty blue, creating a rhythmic, contemplative study in color and restraint. 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.
