An artist sees things not as they are, but as he is.

Drawing is like studying Greek and piano- you can't speak or play in your conscious, which is clumsy. You must get it into your subconscious, which is graceful. But that takes time.

First we draw what we see; then we draw what we know; finally we see what we know.

Am I the kind of person I want my eternal companion to be?

First you draw what you see. Next, you draw what you know, and only then will you know what it is that you see.
