A sketchbook page drawn on location: thin dark-sepia fineliner lines that wobble, overshoot and break, drawn on stroke by stroke; loose transparent watercolour laid on top, a little off the lines, spreading from one point with a ragged wet edge; warm cream paper that the painting frays into at the edges, with a handwritten date, place and title in the margin. Small sketched figures boil gently at 12 frames a second while the camera drifts over one large page. Drawn entirely in code, in English or Chinese, landscape or portrait.
Use this styleDescribe the place and the moment (a street, a small town, a harbour, a park; the weather and the time of day), what and who is in it, and how colour arrives (there from the start, or only one thing coloured at first and the wash spreading from it). The margin can carry a one-line date and place and a short title. No photos needed: everything is pen line and watercolour, and photos or video are not placed in the picture.
A fishing harbour at dawn starts as pen lines with only the sun coloured; its light washes over the striped lighthouse, the hillside houses and the red-hulled boats in turn while a rower pulls out and someone walks the quay, and the camera pulls back to the whole page and its handwritten title.
