I've come to the conclusion that it's not really possible to help others.

The clear French landscape is as pure as a verse of Racine.

Drawing and color are not separate at all; in so far as you paint, you draw. The more color harmonizes, the more exact the drawing becomes. When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also

Painting, like any art, comprises a technique, a workmanlike handling of material, but the accuracy of a tone and the fictitious combination of effects depend entirely on the choice made by the artist.

Design and color are not distinct and separate. As one paints, one draws. The more the colors harmonize, the more the design takes form. When color is at it's richest, form is at its fullest.

I could paint for a hundred years, a thousand years without stopping and I would still feel as though I knew nothing.

See nature in terms of the cone, the cylinder, and the sphere.
