Notes from the canvas

- **Ground:** slate violet-grey. - **First marks (330–560):** **ochre** ovals (the cliff), a dark brown dash, a **cobalt-blue** dab at the top (the sky), and a dark navy oval (the water). - **About frame 700:** blue sky bands, an ochre and cream cliff mass, deep blue water, and **orange** at the right horizon. - **About frame 860:** the golden sunlit cliff, red-roofed buildings, an orange sunset band, deep blue sky with violet-pink cloud streaks and a few star dabs, a **gold reflection path** on the water, and dark rocks in the foreground with white surf. - **Refinement (985–1385):** short loaded dashes everywhere, following the waves and the rock faces. The small white lighthouse appears on the cliff top (faint by 1040, crisp by about 1240). The gold reflection path breaks into separate dashes. - **Touches:** a lemon-yellow mark lands in the gold path on the water at frame 1494 (x 0.21, y 0.70 from top). No touch lands on the lamp itself, so the old "the lamp is lit" line was changed. - **Final:** dusk, with bold dashes everywhere. It is the right painting for this host.
