Little views.
Made of paper.
A frame changes
what you notice.
A roofline. A patch of sky. A single plant on a sill. A small border makes ordinary shapes feel like a place.

Choose an opening, then leave room for your own view.

Near. Middle. Far.
Far
Give the sky the simplest shape.
Middle
Build a roofline from a few joined edges.
Near
Let one small object touch the frame.
The edge is
part of the view.
Keep the border wide enough to hold its shape. A drawing can suggest a deep window without cutting a single sheet.
Leave something out.
An empty pane gives the eye a place to rest.
Draw one roof instead of a whole city. Leave one corner untouched. The missing detail is often what makes the rest feel intentional.
A view worth keeping.
Use a window outline as a drawing page, a journal insert, or the start of a paper collage.
Are these places real?
The scenes are original imagined compositions. They do not depict a specific building or location.
How can I use the files?
