Cover the canvas at the first go, and then work on till you see nothing more to add ... Don't proceed according to rules and principles, but paint what you observe and feel. Paint generously and unhesitatingly, for it is best not to lose the first impression.

Everything is beautiful, all that matters is to be able to interpret.

I think when one has talent one finally breaks through; so don't pass up any opportunity to do some work.

God takes care of imbeciles, little children and artists.

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

Cover the canvas at the first go, then work at it until you see nothing more to add.

It is absurd to look for perfection.
