I experimented with capturing light using watercolor— the value arrangement is what makes this piece interesting. By placing shapes within similar value zones, you can achieve a surprisingly rich effect. When exploring cafés, I always love finding a seat by the window. Once in a while, I get lucky and catch that slow, golden afternoon light. Pair it with a vanilla canelé—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside— and a fruit-forward hand-brewed coffee, and that's my idea of a perfect afternoon.
