A white heron perches on a gnarled tree branch with delicate willow fronds drooping overhead, rendered in the refined style of Japanese woodblock printing. Soft neutrals and pale yellows create a serene composition, with careful linework defining the bird's elegant posture and the weathered bark beneath its feet. 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.
