One corner only: dead branch, lone rock or an angler; a single loaded ink stroke thinning into dry fly-white bristle, ink bleeding ragged into rice paper, seven tenths of the sheet empty. Black, grey and white only, no perspective, no cast shadow, each mark made once. Avoid colour, fine detail, background.
