Painting Is The Only Universal Language. All

How Are We Going To Make Painters By Lecturing To Them? We Are Going To Make Questioners, Doubters, And Talkers. We Are Going To Make Painters By Painting Ourselves, And By Showing The Paintings Of Others. By Working Frankly From Our Convictions, We Are Going To Make Them Work Frankly From Theirs.

What Is Nobler Than A Man Wresting And Wringing His Bread From The Stubborn Soil By The Sweat Of His Brow And The Break Of His Back For His Wife And Children!

You Can't Do A Fine Thing Without Having Seen Fine Examples.

There Is Force And Vitality In A First Sketch From Life Which The After-work Rarely Has. You Want A Picture To Seize You As Forcibly As If A Man Had Seized You By The Shoulder! It Should Impress You Like Reality!

Don't Put Needless Expense Into Painting A Head! Don't Try To Match Tints! Rose And Pearly Colours Blend Into Each Other So That No One Can Unite Them If Painted Separately. Keep The Impression Of Your Subject As One Thing!
