Begin with the weather, not the object
Every composition takes its temperature from the cool, veiled air that surrounds it.
A coast held in light
Let pale surfaces carry the drama
Chalk is reserved for moments of arrival, so each bright plane feels briefly discovered.
Make contrast feel found, never forced
Deep sea notes and flint accents appear as quiet evidence beneath the luminous field.
Leave room for the horizon to recede
Generous intervals keep the page breathing, like a view softened by Channel mist.
