The final section of black paint is added to the bottom right of the page. The pattern seems to have gathered momentum as it moves across into the clearer side of the page.
Page 62 part 7
The top panel is painted yellow and then drawn over in green ink. This type of pattern, which looks a little like map contours or an enlarged fingerprint, is a motif that appears in other humument pages. It masks the text so that the isolated words in bubbles are much clearer to read but it is still tranparent and quite possible for the viewer to make out all the words that have now receded into the background.
More colour is applied to the bottom section of the page. First a multi-coloured wash through which the words are clearly visible, and then, starting on the left hand side Phillips begins to add an opaque black. The black covers up almost all of the text with a complex and intricate pattern revealing the various colours showing through the tiny intervals between letters, lines and words.

With another section of colour the composition begins to develop. If you return to part 1 it is interesting to compare this page and its text to the original untreated page. Click on the image to enlarge.
