Draw and paint the subject the way you want it to be, not as it is.
Content is the meaningful substance of the work.
Editing and selectivity are processes that provide the first steps in determining and conveying content.
An artist who makes pictures that look good but express nothing is like a writer whose words sound good but have no meaning.
Without emotional content we make pictures; with it, we create art.
In the editing process, I delete what I do not want to use, move what remains around if necessary and add elements that I feel will make my visual statement as clear and understandable as possible.
