  • Scumbles to veil reflections.
  • Staccato dabs for lily accents.

🎨 Palette Logic

Foreground Warm greens Proximity
Mid Violets/blues Depth

Edges melt into water; let your eyes float.


🧭 Reading Strategy

  • Track strokes across joins.
  • Note temperature shifts by zone.
  • Compare reflections vs lily accents.
