Fight with yourself when you paint, not with the model. A student is one who struggles with himself for order.

There is weakness in pretending to know more than you know or in stating less than you know.

Feel the dignity of a child. Do not feel superior to him, for you are not.

There are pictures that manifest education and there are pictures that manifest love.

The more simply you see, the more simply you will render. People see too much, scatteringly.

Art is, after all, only a trace – like a footprint which shows that one has walked bravely and in great happiness.

Paint what you feel. Paint what you see. Paint what is real to you.
