No one can be a painter unless he cares for painting above all else.
You must always remain master of the situation and do what you please. No school tasks, ah, no! no tasks!
I would kiss you, had I the courage.
Above all, keep your colors fresh!
Conciseness in art is essential and a refinement. The concise man makes one think; the verbose bores. Always work towards conciseness.
One must be of one's time and paint what one sees.
