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

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.

The Artist Does Not Draw What He Sees, But What He Must Make Others See. Only When He No Longer Knows What He Is Doing Does The Painter Do Good Things. A Picture Is First Of All A Product Of The Imagination Of The Artist; It Must Never Be A Copy. If Then Two Or Three Natural Accents Can Be Added, Obviously No Harm Is Done. The Air We See In The Paintings Of The Old Masters Is Never The Air We Breathe.

The Fascinating Thing, Is Not To Show The Source Of Light, But The Effect Of Light.

If Painting Weren't So Difficult, It Wouldn't Be Fun.
