Lower left, in pencil: "Notes: Get all the texture you can into walls "a." Look out for shadows. Consider intro- \ duction of airplane into sky as per sketch. Make drg, straight line of tile on ridge under west \ towers of church very irregular. Sentry figure to go in a pose "b." Wall "e" has flatter, \ more even texture than "a." Line "d" should be forward, not by an actual line, but by tone on \ wall to left of it."
