Wet Ground

Blue in green
at the edge water stalls
yellow in the wet ground

Pigment at the margin
darkens onto the paper
fibres keep absorbing

Wet granulation
caught in the tone
colour sits fast

Below in the blue
light builds up
the edge holds on

Bright margin
Fibres under water
Green in the after-pull

Blue against yellow
Edge under tension
Rivulet at the paper

Edge traces
in the wet pull
Clouding in fibres

Stalling water
Pigment sits fast
Light hangs in the edge

Bright patch
eats into green
Blue up to the edge

Yellow under colour
Granulation in the wet
Darkness beneath

Pale spot
in the thin wet
Edges give way

In the blue remnant
Weight in the tone
Paper darkens further

Residual water
Pigment between fibres
Edge starts to dry

Green in remnant blue
Yellow under clouding
Darkness in the tone

Dry edges
in the last wet
Light on paper grain

Colour trace
in the rough margin
Paper holds residue
