You cannot possibly invent painting all by yourself.
One does not always sing out of happiness.
One always talks of surrendering to nature. There is also such a thing as surrendering to the picture.
You reason colour more than you reason drawing Colour has a logic as severe as form.
The important thing is to remember what most impressed you and to put it on canvas as fast as possible.
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.
