You see a bright harbor in Saint-Tropez: masts, sails, and a few tiny figures on the dock. Luce printed this in layers of colored ink, letting the dots of red, blue, and yellow mix in your eye instead of on the plate. It’s like a painting you can hold in your hand. Look up the technique called *impasto* next—it’s how artists build thick, textured paint on canvas.
