Beauty is an intangible thing; can not be fixed on the surface, and the wear and tear of old age on the body cannot defeat it. Nor will a "pretty" face make it, for "pretty" faces are often dull and empty, and beauty is never dull and it fills all spaces.

Drawing is not following a line on the model, it is drawing your sense of the thing.

Paint the flying spirit of the bird rather than its feathers.

In great art there is no beginning and end in point of time. All time is comprehended.

Get the few main lines and see what lines they call out.

There is nothing in all the world more beautiful or significant of the laws of the universe than the nude human body.

It is the common defect of modern art study. Too many students do not know why they draw.
