God takes care of imbeciles, little children and artists.

It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly, that one fine day you discover to your surprise that you have rendered something in its true character.

Don't be afraid of putting on color, refine the work little by little.

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.

Watercolour is not especially difficult, but I must warn you to steer clear of those pretty English watercolourists, so skilful and alas so weak, and so often too truthful.

When you do a thing with your whole soul and everything that is noble within you, you always find your counterpart.

All the sorrow, all the bitterness, all the sadness, I forget them and ignore them in the joy of working.
