I Paint What I See And Not

The Latest Fashion… Is Absolutely Necessary For A Painting. It’s What Matters Most.

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.

Above All, Keep Your Colors Fresh!

You Would Hardly Believe How Difficult It Is To Place A Figure Alone On A Canvas, And To Concentrate All The Interest On This Single And Universal Figure And Still Keep It Living And Real.

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.
