I am just beginning to understand what it is to paint. A painter should have two lives, one in which to learn, and one in which to practice his art.
A painting that is well composed is half finished.
You cannot possibly invent painting all by yourself.
Drawing is feeling. Color is an act of reason.
The important thing is to remember what most impressed you and to put it on canvas as fast as possible.
It is still color, it is not yet light.
