Coastal Silence

A misted South Coast morning becomes a studio lesson in subtraction, wash, drying time and restraint.

The mist came in thick this morning, erasing the horizon. In the studio, this translates to layers of translucent washes.

The work becomes a process of subtracting detail to find the essence of the coast.

Drying time dictates the pace of the day, and the slower rhythm makes room for the paper to speak back.
