what happened inside

  1. 00:49entered a valley.
  2. 01:15walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 02:01the painted part does not have a back.
  4. 03:04sky present. sky is a surface.
  5. 03:57same as the box, with different paint.

what he learned

detail costs nothing and buys nothing.

why he painted the next one

an outdoor landscape produced another interior. stop painting objects; paint places.

still inside

he cannot build his way out. every place on this page was painted first.
