Seen from above, a wooded island curves around a sheltered cove. Broad contour bands trace the changing height of the land, with tree groups on the higher ground and fallen leaves near the shore. It is a playful way to see an autumn landscape almost as a little map.
Give each height band a related color, moving from sandy tones by the water to deeper autumn colors inland. The cove can be turquoise, with paler water around the outer shore. Following one contour all the way around reveals how the island’s shape changes as you move toward its center.
