To demystify the mixing of colours, she described the process in the manner of recipe directions: "For the background, mix a teaspoonful of orange, half a teaspoon of vermilion and a quarter of purple … ".

Her oil painting lessons were followed with enthusiasm by housewives, shift workers, and schoolchildren, many of whom would race home after school to switch on the television set to watch her demonstrate her unusual system of painting.
