The layered scales have a luminous, textured quality with subtle variations in tone that suggest depth and movement across the composition. 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.
