Realize that a drawing is not a copy. It is a construction in very different materials. A drawing is an invention.

It seems to me that before a man tries to express anything to the world he must recognize in himself an individual, a new one, very distinct from others.

Whatever you feel or think your exact state at the exact moment of your brush touching the canvas is in some way registered in that stroke.

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

Art after all is but an extension of language to the expression of sensations too subtle for words.

Personal experimentation is revealing, and once you get into it, immensely engaging.

Don't stop to paint the material, but push on to give the spirit.
