Horizontal bands of color stack across the composition, moving from pale speckled cream at the top through deep forest green and teal to nearly black at the bottom, with a bright acid-yellow stripe cutting through the middle like a hidden river. The layered approach suggests geological strata or a misty landscape viewed from above, rendered in a soft, watercolor-like technique that emphasizes the subtle gradations between each tone. 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.
