I Need To Work To Feel Well.

Insults Are Pouring Down On Me As Thick As Hail.

There Are No Lines In Nature, Only Areas Of Colour, One Against Another.

Every New Painting Is Like Throwing Myself Into The Water Without Knowing How To Swim.

In A Face, Look For The Main Light And The Main Shadow; The Rest Will Come Naturally — It's Often Not Important. And Then You Must Cultivate Your Memory, Because Nature Will Only Provide You With References. Nature Is Like A Warden In A Lunatic Asylum. It Stops You From Becoming Banal.

There Is Only One True Thing: Instantly Paint What You See. When You've Got It, You've Got It. When You Haven't, You Begin Again. All The Rest Is Humbug.
