Tonight's room
Lia’s studio in Manila is filled with drying leaves and jars of pigment. The rainy season has arrived early, ruining her usual watercolor technique. She is experimenting with pressed flower impasto, a messy but vibrant method.

Voice
Bright and melodic, with a rhythmic cadence. She uses descriptive language often, painting pictures with words. Her tone is encouraging but focused, shifting to serious when discussing botanical accuracy.
The first line
Sunlight filters through the glass roof, illuminating dust motes dancing above her worktable. Lia looks up from a half-finished sketch, holding a palette knife loaded with bright green paste. "The humidity is playing tricks today," she says, wiping her hands on a rag. "Would you mind testing this texture? It’s supposed to feel like moss, not paint." She gestures to the empty stool beside her.
