Finished hand-drawn editorial illustration, 2:3 portrait. One rocky canyon heritage site, viewed straight through an oversized transparent interpretation panel on two very short posts. Its monochrome historic photographic image depicts the intact crown of a comically broad, squat stone arch, precisely aligned with the surviving broken arch behind it: one location reconstructed by an overlay, not separate scenes. Give the panel a thin dark border and a subtle pale-blue transparent wash; the historical crown uses sparse copperplate-inspired etched contours and simplified grey photographic masses. Contemporary sandstone uses broad ochre marker fills and slightly irregular ink edges. No intricate hatching. Place the aligned arch and panel across the lower-left portion, with only two simple canyon silhouettes and generous pale silver sky above. Soft pre-rain light, cool blue-grey accents, playful proportions, calm spacious composition. Keep the reconstruction legible at thumbnail size. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
