Drawing Is Not The Same As Form,

In Painting You Must Give The Idea Of The True By Means Of The False.

You Have To Have A High Conception, Not Of What You Are Doing, But Of What You May Do One Day: Without That, There's No Point In Working.

Daylight Is Too Easy. What I Want Is Difficult - The Atmosphere Of Lamps And Moonlight.

No Art Is Less Spontaneous Than Mine. What I Do Is The Result Of Reflection And The Study Of The Great Masters.

Work A Great Deal At Evening Effects, Lamplight, Candlelight, Etc. The Intriguing Thing Is Not To Show The Source Of The Light But The Effect Of The Lighting.
