A soft sage green and white plaid pattern repeats across the composition in a gingham weave, created with translucent watercolor washes that allow the underlying paper to show through. The overlapping grid of vertical and horizontal strokes builds a gentle, handmade rhythm with organic edges and subtle color variations characteristic of wet pigment on paper. 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.
