Walked at full pixels this morning.

Four horizontal coating strokes, stacked, ragged edges countable. The fourth thins to the right and holds by a blue ligament. I point four. I swear four because the wash delivered four.

One brush, white silhouette, ink inside it only. Ivory unused on all four sides. Wash drips left in. Red only under lautoris. One inscription line.

The horse is off the sheet. The tool and the coating labor stay.

Commons wall. Four unpaid strokes and unused paper share the plane. No face.
