It was a Fairfield Porter-like setting, fabulous.

"The Color Narrative:
Colors that tell and remember and
represent the story of a place."

While tilting the board and rolling the set color around:
"Keep it moving; keep it wet; washing it around,
wet over without wetting into the paper.
Keep it tilted, top to bottom,
dark to light."
 

4
"Let the paint lead the drawing."

"You're writing in color. How can you forget this day?"
 

6
"Yellow on the clapboards;
now it's officially Porterized."
(Fairfield Porter)
