Sepia

These sepia tones run through sketches, maps, and studies of figures, interiors, and nature, from bathers to chairs to bamboo and peacocks. The warm browns give everything a worn, vintage quality rather than sharp contrast or bright color. They sit well in a library or study with dark wood and warm white walls.
