A brown lobster with black-tipped claws extends across a warm cream ground, rendered in loose watercolor washes that capture both anatomical detail and painterly spontaneity. The creature's segmented body and splayed legs radiate outward with an almost architectural precision, while the soft pigmentation gives the composition an intimate, naturalistic quality. 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.
