One stroke of red-orange
A single small mark made with a fine brush, used to judge how thick paint sits on plain paper.
The whole study is one mark: a small patch of red-orange paint pressed onto a clean sheet with a fine brush. The paint is thick enough to keep ridges from the bristles.
What one mark tells you
The edge where the brush lifted is ragged; the edge where it landed is fuller. Repeated across a surface, that difference becomes texture.
