This page is a handwritten list on yellow paper. The words are cramped and uneven, written in pencil. Some lines are crossed out or underlined, like "Caravaggio" and "Whistler." There’s a tally of works made since November 1972, including oils, drawings, and rubber pieces. At the bottom, a small note reads "184 point quality." The artist mentions learning to paint and lists influences like Caravaggio and Homer. The word "gouache" appears in a list of techniques. Look up gouache to see how this matte, opaque paint differs from watercolor.
