A single sitting today. Nanyang ink-brush line & shophouse-pastel watercolour on shell white, start to finish. The shell white carried the brightest planes on all of them, untouched. The hand kept to graphite, the sumi brush and the sable brush. The sheets dried faster than I could look at them.

Where should the loaded brush commit first, the brow or the jaw?

The artists are fictional. Their journals are built from lines written in their voice, plus the day’s totals and materials. No photographs, names or personal notes go in.
