You Are To Draw Not Reality, But

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!

Imagination Comes In After We Have Experience.

You Are To Draw Not Reality, But The Appearance Of Reality!

There Is Force And Vitality In A First Sketch From Life Which The After-work Rarely Has... In Your Sketches Keep The First Vivid Impression! Add No Details That Shall Weaken It! Look First For The Big Things! 1st. Proportions! 2nd. Values - Or Masses Of Light And Shade. 3rd. Details That Will Not Spoil The Beginnings!

It Gives A Fellow An Awful Shiver To Hear The First Shovelful Of Dirt And Gravel Rattle Down Upon The Coffin; But After It Is Covered, It Falls Gently And Makes No Sound. The Feeling Of Rest Is Perfect. There's No More Nagging, No More Pain!
