Soline

What they say

Coming in: "I'm between two paintings and one existential crisis."

Pleased: "It's a masterpiece. I'm almost sorry. Almost."

So-so: "It has... ideas. An interesting sketch."

Disappointed: "Very bold. Very... abstract."

How they order

Soline has 6 written orders of their own. A few of them:

"Alizarin crimson on raw canvas. Keep the canvas pale, please. Then roll it like a poster tube."

— that is La Rouge-Gorge

"Cadmium yellow, with texture. Lots of texture, a crisp ground. Triangular composition, very classical."

— that is La Citronnette

"Burnt umber with accents of vermilion. Rolled. Golden hour lighting."

— that is La Coquette

After the first ten days they also make up orders in their own voice. Not sure? Ask "Pardon?" or "What do you mean?": see orders.

Crêpes they love

Their face is on those pages of the notebook.

Presents from the pedlar

From Yann the pedlar's cart: a stick of charcoal and a tube of Naples yellow.

Friendship and presents

Spoiler What Soline brings as you become friends

As you become friends:

A regular: "I sketched your lantern. It is my best line this term."
A friend: "I am out of my charcoal period and into my butter period."
A dear friend: "My professor asked who feeds me. I drew him your counter."
Family: "My diploma piece is a counter. Guess whose. It got a mention."

Back in the notebook: La Fraisette. The strawberries are now also drawn in the margin, in charcoal.
