Don't Be Afraid In Nature: One Must

I Sometimes Have A Horrible Fear Of Turning Up A Canvas Of Mine. I'm Always Afraid Of Finding A Monster In Place Of The Precious Jewels I Thought I Had Put There!

I Regard It As A Waste Of Time To Think Only Of Selling: One Forgets One's Art And Exaggerates One's Value.

Work At The Same Time On Sky, Water, Branches, Ground, Keeping Everything Going On An Equal Basis... Don't Be Afraid Of Putting On Colour... Paint Generously And Unhesitatingly, For It Is Best Not To Lose The First Impression.

All The Sorrow, All The Bitterness, All The Sadness, I Forget Them And Ignore Them In The Joy Of Working.

The Subject Should Be Observed More For Shape And Color Than For Drawing... Precise Drawing Is Dry And Hampers The Impression Of The Whole, It Destroys All Sensations.
