A compact European seaside town rises in layers of cream, tan, and rust-colored buildings beneath a dramatic teal sky, with a church spire piercing upward from the clustered roofline. The composition uses flat, geometric forms and a restrained palette to capture the quiet dignity of historic architecture, rendered in a clean, contemporary illustrative style. 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.
