I've never let one day go by without painting, or at least without drawing.
A painter who has the feel of breasts and buttocks is saved.
One must from time to time attempt things that are beyond one's capacity.
I look at a nude. There are myriads of tiny tints. I must find the ones that will make the flesh on my canvas live and quiver.
"The work of art must seize upon you...carry you away."
Be a good craftsman; it won't stop you from being a genius.
