After the Lake Fog
Paint a three-piece street scene where distance is shown by softened contrast, wet edges, and cold air rather than a printed fog effect.

Palette study · 01
The city keeps its weather in the walls.
Start with lake fog, layer the old brick, catch the station sodium in a wet edge, and leave room for the paper trail. This is the first Saint Morrow palette study.

Six ways to read the city in colour.
One Address Too Many
Add one repeated or displaced civic detail to a familiar building. Keep the change subtle enough that a passerby could explain it away.
Night Route
Use a single amber light source to connect a bus stop, a witness, and the street beyond the miniature base.
Archive Without Names
Paint paper, boxes, and evidence props so their age and handling are clear without readable generated text.
Working Quay
Show salt, worn paint, rope, and industrial iron on one small harbour vignette; include evidence of a shift just ending.
The Map Is Not the Street
Build a street tile where the printed route and physical sidewalk almost agree. Photograph both as competing evidence.
