Vertical stripes in shades of blue, cream, charcoal, and tan layer across the composition with weathered, hand-painted edges that create a sense of texture and movement. The soft watercolor application lets colors bleed and blur into one another, building an organic, contemplative mood through its restrained palette and linear rhythm. 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.
