A painting that is well composed is half finished. |
Art will never be able to exist without nature. |
Color does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it. |
Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly. |
It is still color, it is not yet light. |
One must never let go before having managed to set down one's first impressions. |
The important thing is to remember what most impressed you and to put it on canvas as fast as possible. |
The precision of naming takes away from the uniqueness of seeing. |
What I am after is the first impression - I want to show all one sees on first entering the room - what my eye takes in at first glance. |
Work on the accent, it will enliven the whole. |
You cannot possibly invent painting all by yourself. |
You reason color more than you reason drawing... Color has a logic as severe as form. |
