Six apples and two crusts is not much to paint, and the watercolor takes all the room it is given. The apples are painted one at a time down the column, the cinnamon and the nutmeg go in as two small browns, and the white the paint left in the middle carries the six steps and the two hours of standing.

What this style does
The background is a real watercolor: the color comes in from the edges, bleeds, then dries, and the recipe is laid out in the white it left behind. The ingredients are painted one by one, and the type works for them.
Terracotta, olive, apricot and washed blue on textured paper. A didone for the title, step markers with living edges. The object it imitates is a plate from an artist's book.
Who it is for
Sunday recipes and generous tables, bright rooms, the gift that has to move someone before it informs them.
What is in it
2 pie crust, 6 apples, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp butter.
