Field notes
The listed stories use questions about colour shifts, an unexplained boat and a painted front that resembles a back to guide attention toward specific features. The paid guide is described as a six-painting, 22-page PDF with museum sources, image credits, exercises and a worksheet. A separate four-page companion focuses on one island; the page says it is free and does not require an email address.
